Title: A Silence Emoticon I Thought Of
Post by: Cbsteffen on September 06, 2015, 05:59:26 pm: How do you think an emoticon with a metal plate fastened to the mouth should be done?

A lady (I think her name was Barbara) tried to send Beetlejuice back to the Netherworld which meant having to say "Beetlejuice" 3 consecutive times, but Beetlejuice wouldn't let her. He tried zipping Barbara's mouth, but that didn't work because she unzipped her mouth, so Beetlejuice threw and fastened a metal plate to her mouth before she could say "Beetlejuice" a third time. Barbara couldn't take the metal plate off her mouth.

I love Beetlejuice. I think for a silence emoticon maybe people would get if the face had an X over it's mouth. You know like how they have X's over the eyes to convey death? Only this would be over the mouth with the eyes open. But I think a zipper would work just as well. Some times people say "zip it" when they want the other person to be quiet. Although I do like the Beetlejuice reference.

Oh, I see what you're saying. A zipper over the mouth. Yeah, that would be a good silence emoticon.
