Especially the second part? Which is to say, the part of the definition which comes after the first comma? (Hope I used the "quote" feature correctly; I'm about to find out by hitting the "submit" button)

Er, I made it up. The original ran: "esp. in politics or business." (You're not irony tone deaf, are you?)

I certainly must be! [walking away flouncing skirt e]  (Hmm; this one's listed as "smirk". It doesn't look like a smirk to me--it looks like a combination of anger and ruefulness, which is zackly what I'm feeling: have to admit I was "gotten", but mad at myself for letting it happen!)

I hate the new emoticons. I don't know what half of them are meant to be. "Whistle" looks like the result of an accident at a carpet factory. "Cry" looks like a face after it's been pepper-sprayed. Who needs a floppy disk icon? What is that little octopus thing next to the green face that's about to vomit?

Wondering if starting a riot has any chance of getting the old ones back. Or perhaps all the wrong ones could show up in kilts and start "flouncing".
