    Can't we all just be nice to each other? After all, this is supposed to be a supportive community :'( <read in a whiney voice>

    But really, where's the fun in that?? If I couldn't pick on @Tacklewasher (and vice versa) I'd probably get bored and leave.

    Wish I could hug you twice for that, once for the nice comment and once for being a dumbass :)

    Two hugs will not make up for calling me disgusting and creepy :noway:

    I got you're back. I just gave him over 100 new hugs. :laugh:

    Hey. Only counts for posts made today. I told you yesterday that today is hug a dumbass day.

    You didn't specify a date on the posts. There is no way I'm going back and reversing them all. All those hugs were given today. That's what matters.

    I'm torn between insightful and hug on this one.

    It's really not one that I use often. If I disagree with someone enough that I feel the need to react, I'll just reply to them. I'm also not sure that your statement was incorrect.

    Bump ... because it seems appropriate with the recent flood of Woos everywhere.

    I use it as "wow", which can be a good wow or a bad wow.

    UserA: I've lost 50 pounds!
    Me: Woo emoji (wow! good job!)

    UserB: I hate animals.
    Me: Woo emoji (wow...)

    I can only say.....it doesn't mean what you think it does.....

    Whelp, I've been using the woo button as praise. Sorry to all the folks I've unintentionally ticked off. No more buttons for me!

    Woo: to seek the favour, affection, or love of, especially with a view to marriage.
    Although, pulling the face in the emoji? Not likely to be successful in wooing.

    This is a turn of phrase I’ve always enjoyed.

    You can use Like, Insightful, Inspiring, and Hug. :)


    I wish they would change Woo to "Disagree" -- something clearer and not so insulting.

    That would be my preference, but if they don't want to do that, than just get rid of it. As was demonstrated on this thread, there is a lot of confusion about the meaning of "Woo".
