And bumping OVER an annoying post isn't nice either.

I don't know what that means. Do I need to learn how to do it? Help me! :o

/// and "..."

*** :girlneener:

CFrance, but, but, but what if someone gets up in a bad mood and posts something cranky :mornincoffee: and then they have a coffee and say:
"Yikes, did I really say that" and they look for a delete button but it's disappeared! There is no delete button anymore.
So they are really sorry they were cranky, and they reconsider.
And to delete their post, they have to use 3 digits, could be ^^^ or *** or ### or ???

We all make mistakes.

Excellent point. How about €€€ or 👿👿👿 or \\\?

I always hated, "nothing," as a reply to, "what's wrong?" It should be banned from all vocabularies.

I think it just blows when some says .... sucks. :jester:

Many nominations over the past several years. Is it a Michigan thing?

"It's ridiculous. Do we call people who like wine 'winies' or beer lovers 'beeries'?" – Randall Chamberlain, Traverse City, Mich.

"'Someone who enjoys food' applies to everyone on Earth. What's next? 'Oh, I'm an airie; I just love to breathe.' 'Could we do it at 11, instead? I'm kind of a sleepie.'" – Andy Poe, Marquette, Mich.

"I crave good sleep, too, but that does not make me a sleepie. News flash: We ALL like food." – Graydeon DeCamp, Elk Rapids, Mich.

"I've heard of cooks and chefs, and gourmets and gourmands, but what the heck is a 'foodie'? A person who likes food? A person who eats food? A person who knows what food is? Sounds like 'foodie' is a synonym for 'everybody.' Foodies around the world agree; let's banish this term." – Steve Szilagyi, Mason, Mich.
You made me laugh!

The kitty faces work for me. Where did you find them?
Whoops, sorry, I bet Sunnyatlast also hates the term "it works for me". :oops:

How about 'HOOD' as in neighborhood? That one annoys the //// out of me.

I just left my classroom. Students use "alot" as if it's really a word, or as if it really SAYS anything. How much is a lot? One day when I'm bored I'll compile a list of things they say that make me want to run my fingernails down a chalkboard. Hmmm...too much coffee today?

They are from some emoji or emoticon app.

You are all very funny! But I don't know what bumping over someone's post means either.

I think some people use /// or ... to passive aggressively imply that they just posted some nasty reply and then deleted it but still want you to know that they said something nasty. I'd rather they bring the delete button back. Otherwise, think twice, post once.

That's myself story and I'm stickin' to it!:rant-rave::rant-rave::rant-rave:

I don't think "hood" is a bad term.
It's more descriptive and it's colloquial use defines an exact area.
It tells you more than simply using the word neighborhood which doesn't tell you very much.
A "neighborhood" could be anywhere.

CF - I don't know what the means either. I hope GG will enlighten us.

PS your last post was done twice. I think you thought once and posted twice. ::jester::
