:negative: is Negative Man from the game Mother 3. He's basically a joke boss; he never attacks your group and says depressing things like "Life is but a moment, a meaningless grain of sand."

Can someone explain :frogout: to me? I know :getout: is a thing, but why a frog?

TVIV has a lot of show-specific ones but :ramsay: is probably my favorite.

So anyone have the story behind :downs: and its various spinoffs?


Also, why is :neckbeard: called Neckbeard?

TFF regular here to explain the ones I know

:thurman: Is former great Bills running back Thurman Thomas, from Techmo bowl
:mcnabb: is Donovan McNabb and his award winning smile
:patssay: is for when a Patriots fan is being insufferable
:manning: is mocking Peyton Manning's "manningface", generated from a goldmined thread I was a part of: http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3465398
:baby: I don't know if this started in SAS but posters use it to reference Wade Phillips, because he looks like that
:catdrugs: didn't start in TFF but is used when referencing the Wildcat formation
:psyberger: Is for when Ben Roethlisberger does something stupid (Psyduck with a steeler helmet)
:flag: Penalty flag


while I'm here, what is :holymoley: from?




There's also :krakken: I don't think it started in TFF but it's used whenever Rob Gronkowski does something awesome.

I'm understanding more of these now than I did before, but the meaning of :goonsay: still eludes me. Is it basically used for when someone is being insufferably nerdy? Or am I missing the meaning entirely?


It's a fat nerd with glasses raising his arm, as if to go "well, actually...(insert impossibly nerdy rant)"
