HeidiKC Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 What the heck does that popcorn box mean??? I see that a lot of people used it (and nothing else!) when responding to someone that posted a question that seemed pretty meaningless (maybe they want to get 50 posts up?). Thanks!

Cindyg Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 It means, "I'll start the popcorn so we'll all have something to eat while we read this sure-to-be-long-and-interesting thread. Alternatively, it might mean, "I've got my popcorn ready, so I hope a lot of you participate in this thread." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
specialmama Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 Hmm... I just thought it was to "pop" a topic back up to the top of the list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sasharowan Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 We have no clue what the answer to your question is, but we are watching to learn the answer when someone else answers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xuzi Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 On another message board I'm on, that smiley usually means "Ooooh, this is going to be an interesting thread!" As in: this topic is likely to produce some drama, so I'm going to get my popcorn ready so I can watch it unfold. But I don't think it means that here. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jenny Piaaree Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 Just kidding. I also don't know, but I notice that its label (for lack of a better term) is "Lurk5." So what's that all about? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeidiKC Posted February 22, 2010 Author Share Posted February 22, 2010 Yeah - I saw the Lurk5, too, and wondered what THAT meant. Anyone? Anyway, I guess I kind of get the popcorn thing now and it's pretty funny! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carol in Cal. Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 Woah, this is sure to be a controversial topic. As at a movie, I will grab some popcorn, sit down, and watch the action. But I won't actually enter the fray. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kewb Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 I always thought it meant I don't know the answer but I am interested in the answer so I am going to sit back and watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people use it for that. Other people use :bigear: to mean that. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
