Emojis for "grandmother&qu ot;

The thing is that it's shorthand for a gran. Everyone would know that represents a gran. Most grans nowadays don't look like anyone's idea of a gran.

I am a guilty 74 year old silver haired bun and glasses wearing, (Lucy & Yak fan) grandma, ....and proud of it!

I quite fancy that golden grandpa Baggs 😊

Isn't that Red Riding Hood's grandma?

😂 I knew I recognised her from somewhere!

Baggs

How would you represent a gran in an emoji, Sarahcyn?

Send drawings and we'll judge them.

So I guess you all wear your hair in the Edwardian style - parting in the middle and the rest in a bun at the back? What a revelation!

I don't part it in the middle but yes, when my curls are falling out in the days when my hair needs a wash I often wear an Edwardian-style 'bun' - I learnt how to do it from a young lady/woman/person on You-Tube. It/he/she/they also make and wear Edwardian and Victorian clothes.

Blossoming 😂 there’s no hope for you.

A gran or grandpa emoji just with grey hair maybe tho obvs not all or even many do have grey hair.That would be about right for showing an older person.
Bun prejudice!😂love it.
Must say I haven’t seen anyone old with a bun since I was at school when an older teacher always wore her hair that way.

I have a warm nightie from John Lewis that looks like something Granny Clampett would wear, it’s supposed to be below the knee but it’s floor length on me . My hair is a lovely silver grey and at the moment I’m growing it. It’s just long enough for an updo now, but not long enough for a bun. I also have some fetching lace up Edwardian style boots. I just need a shawl and l’m ready to go!

Although, to be fair, some people called it a chignon.

Until I broke my wrist and couldn't put my hair in a bun, except for a side parting, I'd pretty much worn my hair in a bun (with grey bits showing), since my thrities.

This is outright bun prejudice!!! Shocking, I say 😜

(not to mention anti-Edwardianism; what've you got against them?)

👴 and a golden grandpa.

I do wish people would stop taking offence where offence is almost certainly not intended. How fragile they must be? Or grumpy. 🤷

Here's a golden grandma 👵

Doesn't bother me. Why does an old person looking old bother people at all?

And, yes, she looks sweet. Not like some hard-faced old people I've occasionally seen.

It’s awful.
Even my Nan never looked like that.It may seem harmless but is yet another small dig at older women.

I can see where you are coming from sarahcyn it's a really old fashioned look now. However it is an emoji and they are almost caricatures.

So do I. What do you want her to look like OP?

Doesn’t bother me. I think she looks sweet actually!
