Sometimes it's shorter, for instance this is a well known Monty Python quote:  [attachment=12323]

Have to confess, I had to look it up, it is

“Wink, wink, nudge, nudge, say no more

Totally proverbial in this French family... "How about a trip to Scotland? Wink, wink, nudge, nudge?" (shows a picture of Doune castle)

Thanks Rich2005 for transcribing the emoglyphs.
Ofnuts now seeing the video, which puts thing in context, I would say you did forget the "follow me" Big Grin

Thanks for this video, totally absurd. At the end of the fragment I thought of another absurd Dutch couple (on the right in the picture). They were popular on VPRO in the 1970s and 1990s with absurd comments on everything. Too bad it's in Dutch. I still liked this one too.

I love emojis and this is actually my argument when people suggest they're immature or low class Big Grin Visual media can carry more information than literary.

I cede the fact that it might enable a less educated society...
