Sorry, I don't speak "beat around the bush". If you're trying to say something, out with it already

I gather it was an expression of disbelieve about you not knowing or accepting the wonder that emojis is. In emojified parlance it would sound like "Are you [http://emojipedia.org/pile-of-poo/] me" as in "Are you shitting me", which as you see is very clever, because you don't have to type the whole word and the pile of poo also has cute eyes.

Interestingly, this one - http://emojipedia.org/soft-ice-cream/ is deemed a "related emoji" :) go figure!

If someone wants to say "Are you shitting me?", they should just say so. I'm old school.... I use an actual language to convey thoughts.

http://thenewinquiry.com/essays/the-conservatism-of-emoji/ - this is of you :)

"Innocuous and omnipresent, emoji are the social lubricant smoothing the rough edges of our digital lives: They underscore tone, introduce humor, and give us a quick way to bring personality into otherwise monochrome spaces. "
