My kids are appalled that the mobile does'nt sing and dance etc it just makes calls and sends texts.

Mine would too if I could remember to
a) charge it up
b) put it in my handbag
c) remember the order of the buttons to turn it on and unlock it.....
and then ???
d)...need I go on!

Could it be a shocked face?

Maybe they just forgot to put the word in the quotes

I just wanted to seem really cool knowing what it meant when I replied!!

My self esteem has vastly improved knowing no-one else seems to know what it means either!!!!

Could it be a shocked face?

I did wonder that but it doesn't really fit in context...more likely thinking hard or a Gallic shrug?

I have not got a clue - I am still trying to figure out what hash tag means. My kids are appalled that the mobile does'nt sing and dance etc it just makes calls and sends texts.

Mine are appalled that I don't have my phone physically attached to me only to be detached by operation, oh, my boyfriend is in that same mindset.

There's a fairly comprehensive list of text emoticons here, and yours isn't on it Nicos.

To me it looks a sort of surprised face.

It would help us guess if we had a bit of context.

It was in response to a question about if anything was needed to be done to improve/change/alter something .

I did wonder if it was meant to be speech marks around the .
The . meaning full stop/end/period ( as the Americans say)/nothing to say/suggest????

A simple 'No' would have been quicker to type if that's what they mean!!!!!

I used to class myself as young and hip but, as I don't know what it means clearly I'm old and out of it.
