I want to get people's translations of these emoji. We'll get to the ones which are actually in Japanese later. I want to start out with some of the more subtle questions.

Like, what exactly is supposed to be the difference in concepts expressed by , , , and .

You don't have to actually know the answer AFAIC. Goofy answers are not only expected but desired.



Well, I'm viewing it on my iMac, and still nothing

-t

[subego]

I always felt  translates to "no more creepy old guy sex unless I get a purse or something."

[subego]

"Real Louis Vuitton too, none of this knock-off shit."

[subego]




This translates to "beware my cat's pimp stick".

[subego]



Roughly, "is that an eggplant in your pocket?"

[subego]



This is one of the more nuanced emoji, because it can mean either "that's no eggplant" or "I'm peeing on you".

first, I'm looking at this on an iPad, and the pictures come through fine. (I didn't pour through later posts to see if something got changed...)

Anyway, these four mean: happy/playful, happy/proud/content, "I am happy to see you, and that is not a gun in my pocket," and "inscrutable". (in other words, I have no idea what the last one is supposed to mean.)

It goes on: "I brought a purse !"

[subego]

 has been my go-to smiley. I had no idea why I kept getting purses.

[subego]

I have to say though, Monsieur V. doesn't skimp on the craftsmanship.



"Beware of SARS."



"Extreme runny nose."



"I abuse ghost."



"I don't have a castle, but I have a nice picture of one."

I've always translated that as 

Which is the same as "are we watching Supernatural tonight?"

[subego]



"I am lying to you"

[subego]



"Kodak can suck it!"

[subego]



"Go the **** to sleep."

[subego]



"Why are you looking at my tentacles like that? I just want a hug."

[subego]

That may have been texted to a bikini-clad Flo from the Progressive commercials by an alien robot octopus at one point, however some could consider that to be too much information.

"I have a Five Guys around the corner, and you don't."

[ghporter]

I checked in on this thread yesterday on my iMac, and the emoji were all "invalid character" symbols, while they show up perfectly he on my iPad... That makes me feel and . Which shouldn't be at all difficult to translate.

[subego]

I translate it as:



Which also means "goddamn Robert Goulet!"

[subego]

Of course,  also means "goddamn Robert Goulet!", if you're using the archaic style.

Japanese is so complicated.

[subego]



"Scissors beats paper, peace beats scissors."



"I'd walk a mile for a Dromedary."

[subego]




"I hate it when my rice touches my brown."

Figure it out.


Edit: when did emojis blow up? ������

Dromedaries have a single hump.

[subego]

Hence the need for translation.
