Now that you know what it means, you may probably agree with me that it is unfortunately the most underused emoticon on the forums. 
And only when the anthems are Spanish or British! This is a list of forum posts created by Jan1305.
RE: Ladies only!What annoys you the most about a guys profile?
I do not wish to argue with you, but whether you like it or not, "kids" is the most often used term when referring to children, and as an English teacher you should be acknowledging that, and teaching your students the same, as you would with any colloquial, slang or idiomatic language. In addition, I was born in the North of England where the word is undoubtedly used more than children.As a teacher of English one teaches everything. The word children first as the plural of child, then later, when a student is of a higher level..kids. Surely you know that as an English teacher? THAT is my foresight! Too many people these days profess to be English teachers, and I´m not saying you are one of them, but many are not, and choose to do the job because native English speakers are in demand across the globe. As an aside, I also work as an examiner for Cambridge, so my credentials as a teacher are not, and should not be in question here.
As for contacting guys, you have misunderstood me completely. I have no need to contact them, I have a partner. Before, I rarely did so, I admit. Not because I thought, or think now, that women shouldn´t contact men, more because I never felt the urge very often to contact naybody here.
You just mistakenly assumed something about me which bears no relevance to what I said, nor what is in my profile now or before.
