mr. green is best used when you are being sarcastic, or want to secretly insult the person you're talking to.

I had no idea.
I like him because his smiles bigger & he has teeth.

Plus... if you use :mrgreen:, is the insult really such a secret? LOL

Of course he has teeth, that only reinforces his proper role:

Sarcasm (noun):

1) A biting or derisive remark often containing irony
...

etymology: Late Latin sarcasmus, from Greek sarkasmos, from sarkazein, to bite the lips in rage, from sarx, sark-, flesh
Plus... if you use :mrgreen:, is the insult really such a secret? LOL
Actually yes, because you always have to ask yourself "did he drop mr. green on me because he's insulting me or does he just like green smilies better than yellow ones?" You have your suspicions, but you're never really sure. Only one person, the poster, knows the truth. I'd say that's a pretty well kept secret, don't you think? :mrgreen:
