Therefore the command is basically just asking very nicely, hoping to get one's way

- tux3 4y agoAlternatively, a good chunk of my twitter feed would call this the bottom emoji, without attempting to give it a pronunciation. I don't think any particular pronunciation has consensus, but various groups of people imbue it different meanings.
- xena 4y agoThis tool canonically has no pronunciation and any attempt to give it one is non-canon. It is a child of the Internet.
- LesZedCB 4y agotell that to the gif guy

- 2OEH8eoCRo0 4y agoThe internet loves being told what to do.
- Shared404 4y agoYou're not wrong, at least based on the demographics I've seen. But I bet if you said "pwease emoji" or "bottom emoji", much of the same group would probably get it. Though maybe "pwease" would this and the fingers.
- marvin 4y agoI reckon a bottom saying «pwease» would also get their point across.
- nerdponx 4y agoDoes "bottom" mean what I think it means?
- rolenthedeep 4y agoYes
- madeofpalk 4y agoas in gay bottom? first i've heard of that (as a gay internet person)
- steveklabnik 4y agoThink “sexually submissive,” who you’re attracted to is an orthogonal thing.
- nequo 4y agoI thought it was bottom as in "⊥". But that is orthogonal too.
- a_vanderbilt 4y agoAt least among Gen-Z, it's less an indicator of sexual orientation, and more so one's sexual position. I am friends with a (hetero) couple where the male is the bottom. She pegs him because that what they like. He is not attracted to men, but also does not enjoy being sexually dominant.
- anaisbetts 4y agoIt's the "step on me mommy" emoji
- sph 4y agoY'all need some Jesus.
- anaisbetts 4y agoDoes he look good in leather?
- bitwize 4y ago(in Rainier Wolfcastle voice) That's the joke.
- jacobmartin 4y agoYeah, I always read this as "bottom emoji" in my internal monologue, and that is how I search for it if I need to copy & paste it on a laptop or desktop lol.
- mr_toad 4y ago> Alternatively, a good chunk of my twitter feed would call this the bottom emoji Yeah, I don’t think I’m going to be calling it that in the morning standups.
- UI_at_80x24 4y agoA appreciate you 'describing' the emoji for me. I'm on the spectrum, and I can't tell 99% of these things apart. Looks like a sad face to me. no different then the 500 other sad face emoji's I find. I'll stick with =(
- iforgotpassword 4y agoWait what, this is some kind of emoji/face? It shows up as a grey solid box that is slightly wider than tall for me, so not even the typical "glyph missing" thing... Edit: ok apparently this is indeed the placeholder for missing emoji in Firefox for Android at least.

I'll stick with =( If it's any consolation, I don't think anyone could infer that from the emoji itself. The meaning is like a subculture's slang. I don't use emojis, so I only know the very basic ones (which I consider to be obfuscated emoticons).
- sph 4y agoAm I the only one that can read faces in here? It is pretty obvious that it is a face doing the sad puppy eyes, like the one a young niece might do after I refuse to buy her some ice cream. I didn't even know it's meant to be underground, impenetrable slang.

- chungy 4y agoThanks for the explanation. Emoji to me might as well be Chinese characters. It's just a "thing" I can't read.
- deleted 4y ago[deleted]
- avgcorrection 4y agoThe meaning can also be inferred from… the face.
- chungy 4y agoIf I zoom in, maybe. At default text sizes, it's indistinguishable from all other emoji faces for me.
- yamtaddle 4y agoJudging just from that, I'd have taken the meaning as "verge of crying" or "my pet just unexpectedly died" Until I read that comment I was having real trouble figuring out WTF it had to do with running commands. I thought it might be some practical joke tool that automatically modifies your commands such that they'll make you sad when they run.
- avgcorrection 4y agoGoogle “puppy dog eyes”. Don’t get why we have to bust out all the cringe internet lingo to describe something that you see in that venerable “real world”.
- deleted 4y ago[deleted]
- yamtaddle 4y agoIt doesn't read that way to me. Maybe it's an emoji-font difference (I'm on Mac). [EDIT] I mean I see it once someone points it out, but that'd have been lucky to make my top-5 guesses otherwise.
- warent 4y agopeople have different perceptions, interpretations, and understandings of things. Your comment comes across as pretty insulting. clear communication is necessary and helpful

- TheCondor 4y agoI don't know if it's ironic or not but there is also a sudo replacement in Rust that is called "please" https://gitlab.com/edneville/please https://gitlab.com/edneville/please

- ilaksh 4y agoThanks for explaining..that makes it more obnoxious than I realized.. still I think people are dismissing it without any logical reason.
- pxc 4y agoIt's officially called 'Face with Pleading Eyes', which also conveys the meaning. :) https://emojipedia.org/emoji/%F0%9F%A5%BA/ https://emojipedia.org/emoji/%F0%9F%A5%BA/
- grose 4y agoIt's also a meme in Japan, called "pien". https://www.nippon.com/en/japan-topics/c03823/ https://www.nippon.com/en/japan-topics/c03823/
