What does :gary: mean?

And, yes...I fully expect several posters to reply with :gary: . :pop:

But, could someone please tell me how this board came about the :gary: emoticon, and it's meaning? Thanks in advance. :)

In addition, I think of it as a step below and slightly more indifferent than facepalm. That is just my personal feeling.

it has to mean Gary England will keep you safe, but some people just use it to use it. there is one dude or girl, that all he/she posts, is that avatar. i tired to laugh or find the funny side of posting that over and over, but couldn't.

My take is that Gary is ever-vigilant, always watching, always waiting.



Does that help? :gary:

so...I created a post a week or so ago in which I tried to attach a picture. It didnt work because I attached it incorrectly...I got a "Gary" as a response.

tell me how that explaination applies.

I will be much more at peace as a man and Sooner once I understand this.

Maybe Gary just showed up to help you.

Or maybe Gary is just who you want Gary to be.

So, what I'm able to surmise from the responses to date, is :gary: is most applicable when one anticipates a message board argument about to occur. (i.e. storm watch or debate brewing).

However, for the most part, people misapply :gary: to just about any situation, just for the sake of it.

Sound about right? :)

Yeah, I knew about imbedding a YT clip. But, the code on this board is different than other boards I've visited. So, thanks for teaching me the code for this board.

Btw, I really like this board. :)
