    I think it was Overheal who, back in 2008, valiantly led and fought on behalf of all the Rolleyes Refugees and had them reinstated in Boards some months later. Gotta love the little feckers, definitely my favourite (and I'm not putting a Rolleyes after this in case people think I'm being sarcastic, I do actually love 'em) :)

    Nothing wrong with it in principle, just when it's misused or worse still, used in lieu of actually taking the time to express your point.

    Why are there two sticking out tongue smilies? And how is pacman different from grin? A typo just produced the interesting word 'snidies', there's a thought for rolleyes.

    I think pacman has a more tongue-in-cheek, cheeky, or flippant quality to him, whereas the smily has a more cheesy, corny tone - the kind you might get in a sickly text message from a particularly naive montessori teacher, or your twelve year old sister

    There used to be a poster in Motors who would use 3 or 4 rolly eyes in every single post. I havent seen any of his posts in ages thank god. Any of the regular Motors posters will know who I am on about..

    I think we should have a thread like the Pedant's Log in Spell Czechs where we can point out all the posts that use rolleyes incorrectly.

    Touché. Although, I will argue that it was a typo.
