Yeah, what's with boomers and the need to add an emoji at the end if each message?
The singular is emojus
Singular and plural are the same because it's a Japanese loanword. All nouns in Japanese can be used this way, to my knowledge.
Nope, it's Latin. The original emojus was the dong, and could be found scrawled on every wall in Rome.
wait, that's boomer shit? 😟
😎 yeah you gotta add it to the beginning!
🤔😁😉😝
The same with millennials adding lol to the end of every sentence. Which is me I do that lol.
I don't know what you mean lol
lol right
usually I'm good with it but sometimes it just seems the most appropriate, like now lol
My mate is technically a boomer and he puts lol and emojis at the end of his messages.
My sister is nearly a boomer yet will not use lol or emojis. However she ends every sentence with at least two x's. That's every sentence!
I still don't know which is worse.
Edit: I just remembered. My mate texted me once to tell me his brother just got diagnosed with arse cancer and ended the text with a few prayer emojis, an upside down head emoji, with a lol in-between.
I've not used lol properly since we stopped using T9 keypad phones
Yeah, they should emote instead >:(

That's Gen X
Hard agree on this one (´･ω･`)
To real, am boomer-ish and I dont know why but there's like an itch within and I fucking can not not do that shit. Im broken for sure 😢
Maybe it's the psychology of inferring tone from text, and not wanting to be misunderstood in a faster-paced communications medium. A shortcut to ensure the message is received with the proper intent when the engagement time has fallen drastically?
Then why are people using this bugger everywhere: 😂
Like theyre actually laughing to tears when they see something remotely funny. I don't buy it
It's boomer for lol and rofl
I don't mind that as much as the boomer thing of adding ellipses at the end of every text. Especially extra strength ellipses........ Horrid writing style
Edit: I wrote an 8-dot ellipses and Lemmy truncated it to three. I just love that.
Oh man, I had a boss who did that. Everything else about him was amazing, but those fucking ellipses drove me up the wall.
Holy shit, you worked for Scott too?
Mine was Rob
