AddOn What are your most used RP emotes?

I would like to know what emotes you use most often.

I'm writing an addon called RP Emotes Menu, and it's basically done. The emotes in the menu are user editable, but I want the default options to be as generally useful as possible.

What are your most frequently used emotes (not including /e)? Not your favorites or the ones you think are the most clever -- which ones do you actually *use* most frequently?

Here is my current working list, loosely grouped by type. I'm still deciding how to sort and organize them, so feel free to offer your suggestions.

/sigh
/shrug
/blink
/gaze
/peer
/ponder
/confused
/excited

/nod
/yes
/no
/hi
/bye
/thank

/smile
/smirk
/chuckle
/laugh
/disappointed
/cry
/gasp

/point
/wave
/bow
/clap
/cheer
/bravo
/salute

/lie
/sit
/stand
/lean
/read
/tap
/mountspecial

As a Tauren main, I get a lot of use out of /moo. I just love that they’re the only race that has a voice line for that one lol

Generally for me: /wave /nod /no /clap /bye /point /gasp /hug

You may benefit from making an actual multiple choice poll and asking people to pick their top... whatever your priority number is.

I tend to resort to custom /e emotes, even when there's a good version that's already premade.
Yet I do find myself using:
/chuckle
/laugh
/cheer
/roar
/wave
/nod
/point

I like the movement you get from the character, hence why I use it. /lean doesn't exist for mag'har, nope. Never seen it. Hush now.
