Smiley Name

[Phil Conners]

How come the ROFL smiley is called cheesy? I don't see the link between something being cheesy and the guy rolling on the floor laughing..

[Phil Conners]

Nobody knows?

[H2oDunc]

I think more a case of nobody cares or is bothered by what it is called.

Your name is Phil Conners

But I would bet you don't look a bit like Jack Nickolson

There are some other weird named smileys such as Yohan = , Dave = - this was discussed once before, concensus seemed to be that the names were given back in the early days of the forum when they would refer to specific members or other "in" jokes.

Yohan - was a prolificate austrian poster on TV before he was banned.

Dave - is davethailand

No idea why cheesey, DrPatPong humour I would surmise.

British Armed Forces slang, "Cheesedown" was to roll about on the floor laughing, it's a thought

[Boo]

yes she does

[Rimmer]

I've often wondered that, about the smiley that is of course

[PoorSucker]

Why is this smiley called YMCA?

[Phil Conners]

It's the Village People....

[PoorSucker]

My foot, my shoe and yes, indeed, my whip too

For Yohan it is perfect, as Brit said, an Austrian...

But well, Dave is as Brit as Britmaveric is, so the hat does not really fit ...
