100 on Twitter

Hundred Points on Twitter Twemoji 12.2

 I have seen this several times on Twitter.

 It took me a bit to figure out what it meant.  According to the emojipedia (won't lie, kind of excited that I found this site), it is a nod to getting 100% on your paper in class.  It means "keep it real" or to show that you have a lot of pride in an idea-that you like it 100%.

 Cool.

 Face Blowing a Kiss on Samsung One UI 1.5Revolving Hearts on Samsung One UI 1.5
This is an emoji I use a lot.  I like to think of it as sending  love to whomever I am talking to.  They are called "Face Blowing a Kiss" and "Revolving Hearts" and were originally meant to say good night and ???    I think they work for my intended purpose.

 Man Dancing on Samsung One UI 1.5
This is my husband's favorite emoji to send.  It is called "Man dancing" and it means man dancing.  When he sends it, he sends it because he is excited about whatever is going on.  Like when he wins tickets to a concert (that's his hobby-he tries to win radio contests.  He's been pretty successful lately).  If you were to see him in person, he really does dance when he is happy.

This is what Olivia usually sends to me.  It is "Rolling on the floor laughing".  It means, hysterical laughter and  can be amped up with

"Face with joy" show something is funny or pleasing.  According to the emojipedia, "Face with joy" is "One of the ten most popular emojis between 2014–2018 and was named the Oxford Dictionaries 2015 Word of the Year."
I am really not that funny, I imagine that Liv uses it sarcastically quite a bit.

 Thumbs Up on Samsung One UI 1.5
"Thumbs up" is the one I get the most from Luke (my son).  It means approval.  He rarely uses emojis so this often comes at the end of a longer conversation as in, "Got it Mom".
The Emojipedia is really quite interesting.  Hundred Points on Samsung One UI 1.5
It names the emojis, gives some history on them and then shows how several different OS's show the emoji.

Hiiiiyeeee!

I didn't post Friday because I was watching TV with my daughter.  We were watching our favorite show-RuPaul's Drag Race. An interesting trend right now is that phrases from drag culture (which are also from African American culture-particularly women) are popping up on Twitter and are now mainstream.  In fact, I have heard students saying these phrases up and down the halls and I have to giggle to myself because I doubt many of them know what they are saying.  So here are few favorites and what they mean (just so you know). YAS! - This word was created as an exclamation to yell at drag queens while they were performing as a sign of support and encouragement. Spill the T/Tea-S lang for the word truth or gossip. Used in a sentence: "Girl, I'm about to spill the tea on everything that happened last night." Gagging-  Used when something is so fierce, you can’t help but want to gag from the overload of extreme fierceosity. Sickening- Amazing, ...

Since you asked...it's Gif (with a hard G)

The discussion began with changing the cat on Everett's blog.  Here's the Gif I used :) But do I call it a Gif (with a hard G like Gift) or a Gif (with a soft J like Jiff)? According to Newsweek (article link ) ,  it should be the hard G, like Gift.   Reasons: *The  "G" in GIF stands for Graphic , which is pronounced with a hard G. It's Graphic Interchange Format. *"Gift" is GIF's closest neighbor.   *A computer would pronounce the acronym with a hard "G." *Our brains logically just want to pronounce it with a hard G.  But the creator feels otherwise.  In his acceptance of the Webby Lifetime achievement award ( Not going to lie-kind of cool to think about the real people who created the things that we use everyday and that there are awards for this stuff!) . He says (Jiff) I think I will probably still say it with the hard G because it makes sense to my brain.

A round of applause or making a point?

I speak with my hands.  I am a very physical speaker both with my face and my gestures.  The other day in one of my freshman classes, I made a statement to a student and clapped my hands after every word.  I wanted to emphasize what I was saying.  This was met with much more laughter than I expected. Coincidentally, there was a Tweet I saw a few days later that had the handclap emoji between each word.  Ahhh..... The hand clap emoji when used in succession is a round of applause Why thank you! Between each word emphasizes your point Look at me being all relevant without meaning to. Where did this come from? According to the website Bustle, and several others I looked at, it comes from the African American culture.  It  is called "The Black Girl Clap" used often when a woman is explaining something (generally to a man). But online, according to Slate.com, it's become aggressive.  When you do this you are ...
