Not sure i get involved but here goes.<p>So apparently it is officially called pistol, yet most seems to represent a revolver, and the guy insists on calling it the gun emojii, even though the word gun can be used for anything from a bb to .50...
Can't wait when this emoji bullshit hype is over. It has esthetics of an unaligned, overscaled <blink> element. Fonts should be strictly limited to monochrome.
I am honestly surprised that frog + gun isn't on the list.<p>I thought that was the meme that started the thing + gun.<p>edit: I also discovered that HN comments don't support utf8 emojis
I wonder if weighting by favorites/retweets would change the results at all. Maybe horse+gun would be on there? (<a href="http://deadspin.com/rockets-twitter-guy-fired-over-emoji-violence-1701052004" rel="nofollow">http://deadspin.com/rockets-twitter-guy-fired-over-emoji-vio...</a>)
