Little C: It's Pronounced "Gif" with a hard "G"
I've noticed an overuse of emojis in the last month. My friends and family are using them to communicate thoughts and emotions. I don't get it. Not the communication with pictorial aid thing. I get that. But why would you use these little tiny smiley faces and pictures when you can text gifs.*
CT and I discovered last year that you can text little looping clips of tv shows or movies to each other, and now it's a staple in our conversations. They're the next step, I tell you. The days of the Emoji are numbered. Also "The Days of the Emoji" is going to be the first CD by my Euro-pop band.
Just look at a few of our favorite gifs and their corresponding emotions:
*I mean what I said in the title of this post. Pronounce it with a hard "G" or lose my friendship forever.

Disappointment
Pull yourself together!
CTs sassy eyebrow
Your words/actions displease me
Or you can use a Gif with words on it, to convey a less ambiguous feeling.
So give "Gif-speak" a try. Let's all agree it's at least more entertaining than emoticons.
Happy texting,
Little C
