This truly is the end of days

"For the first time ever, Oxford Dictionaries have chosen a "pictograph" as its word of the year.
They say the "face with tears of joy emoji" best represents "the ethos, mood, and preoccupations of 2015".
"Emoji culture has become so popular that individual characters have developed their own trends and stories," says Casper Grathwohl, president of Oxford Dictionaries.
The image shows the "playfulness and intimacy" of emoji culture, he says."

Well, from that article, I've identified that I am a "Lumbersexual"... ???
I wear checkered shirts and boots most days and have had a beard for about 10 years now.
:annoyed:

That emoji is probably only so popular because of it's prominent position in the unicode standard i.e: it's one of the first you come across on the keyboard.
