Thoughts on what the *gg* emoticon expresses
Abbreviation as used in online communication
The topic says it all... I'm rather at a loss to decipher what *gg* represents... any clues most appreciated.

georgiagirl?
I thought it meant georgiagirl, but then she is not an emoticon...
- I don't think so, but thanks for the input.

It's a specifically German emoticon maybe?
It's not really an emoticon per se. Germans often use it in online/SMS communication to indicate that they're joking or laughing at something, or so that's how I have always seen it used. Gamers also use 'gg' as an abbreviation for 'good game'.
But thanks to everyone for thinking of me.

lol gg noob
And if it's a single *g* - it's not so funny?
Thanks GG.
Thanks GG.
Glad to help. I reckon it means 'lol' regardless of whether it's one or two. But I'm no expert.

stuff in *'s is normally an action.
So...
*spanks hams bottom*
or...
*kills self*
I see..
*g*
As short hand for *grin*.
I could be wrong, as with everything in this world, it all depends on context.

wubbage!
You're a star Inflatablewoman - how did you know I liked a bit of a smack on the bum?
*gg* makes me think giggles, but I actually have no idea.

Ah, nice to have my own geek status confirmed for having known that.
It's all intuition, gg. First thought is "giggle". Never thought, could google giggle and goggle at the result.
I alwaysthought it was geile gruss...
This should clear things up. Here's a sample (bold print added by me):
Clear as day. *vibrates understandingless the head*

*g*, *gg* grins*eg* "evil grin" (fieses grinsen) *fg* "fieses Grinsen" *lach* (author laughs) *duck and renn* (author is afraid the reaction to what he wrote before) *tsk* (author hisses and vibrates understandingless the head) *knuddel* (author embraces the opposite, for example to the greetings in a Chat)
Alternatively the asterisks are replaced also by "+" (as if one would have released the SHIFT key to early), then go the bold print however lost.
*LOL* (lye-hung out loud - see with the acronyms) (always far common variant of "LOL") *ROFL* (rolling on (the) floor lye-hung) *LMAO* (my ate off lye-hung)
The asterisk acronyms as *gg* are used particularly in the German linguistic area, in English-language communication are this many more rarely to be found.

Well that's good to know, at least I make someone laugh or grin alot - hopefully just not at my expense!
I'd certainly rather be giggled at than hissed at with an understandingless vibration of the head
So true, and what is that when it's at home?
I'm sure someone will be willing to demonstrate at a TT event.
