What is your favorite gesture on Second Life? What do you use alot?

My favorite is the " ::::::: I ❤ THIS T U N E ! ! ! ::::::: HOoOoOUlalalala :)" gesture... I use it all the time, so much it annoys people.

Also I've seen a couple I want to find:

1. The "OMG! FAINTS!" and falls over.
2. And the "I love this FOOKIN DJ! I wanna kiss her, and hug her, and... oops, I think I went too far!"

The buy Lindens button. It signifies another shopping spree.

Otherwise I don't use any of them.

The only gesture I ever use is press F2 to cast when I'm fishing.

If I'm at a club and someone spams a gesture more than a few lines, or the same gesture over and over again, or any gesture with sound effects, they get muted. Honestly, I hate them.

The only one I use on occassion is an "applause" gesture, if I'm at a function where it is appropriate such as when I'm at a fashion show. Other than that, I find them annoying and obtrusive. In fact, it's the main reason I keep my sound off when I'm in public places.

I like "For the love of God, stop gesturbating".


And only that one.

(If you had asked for the most hated gesture, the "I love this tune" would be it.)

The "weasel wardance" gesture that came with my Luskwood ferret avatar.

As you often say, "I endorse this product and/or service".

HATE those things.

Yeah, I know most people hate the tune gesture. I dunno, I just like it so much, I even made a parody gesture out of it for my love.

"::::::: I ❤ THIS GIRL! ! ! ::::::: HOoOoOUlalalala ❤❤❤❤"

Sorry, folks, but the thought of gestures makes me grumpy.

ALL club gestures warrant a finger gesture from me (though I do not have one).

Gestures that fill the screen with ASCII art might have been impressive in 1983 when home computers were new. Please join the rest of us in the 21st century.

I do use the applaud sometimes at live music events, though I prefer to emote. /me applauds with zeal. The wave hello / goodbye gesture could be handy too, though I don't currently use it.

I don't mind sound gestures as long they are children giggling.

I cannot abide inane movie quotes repeated over and over. That's getting into junior high school territory.

I could live just fine with never hearing any gesture using "Hoo!", "Howlz!" or the "Caramelldansen" song ever again.

I love animation-gestures...waves, curtsies, brushing the lint off a sleeve, all kinds of stuff. Filling the screen with a bunch of text or playing obnoxious sound clips of wolf howls or movie quotes or whatever? HATE HATE HATE.

You're why I own a sorta sarcastic sounding " ::::::: SHE ❤s EVERY T U N E ! ! ! ::::::: HOoOoOUlalalala " gesture. ;)

My fave is prob'ly the "mhm" I use. I tend to keep to simple ones for any regular use, and ones that fit what I'd be saying anyway.

Hahaha, you remind me of the people who get annoyed at when I do it. One always goes... "Serenity loves this tune HOULALALALAA"

I have one gesture, that makes me faint when I say OMG. I like it because it reminds me to not say OMG.

I hate gesture spam.

The ones I made heh

seriously though I like the Ahhh go ban yourself that I made, (as do others apparently LOL)
it is perfect for those pg areas....

I also like one that I got from someone that is a whole lot of hello's and hi's
and I have seen a that is my sissy over there, hello sissy (very cute one)

I dislike when people spam a gesture though, no matter how cute it is
(I like when they are used in context like the ahhh go ban yourself, or the hello one to cover a whole lot of hi's and of course the hi sissy one heh)
