On November 11th, 2011, the Society of Software Engineers at Rochester Institute of Technology organized a real life table-flipping event for students to "relieve stress" from finals week. These emoticons are also known as desk flips, rage flips, flip da table and (Chabudai Gaeshi which means returning the tea table) in Japanese. The "table-flipping" action can be also conveyed in the format of photographs and cartoons: There are several known variations stemming from the original emoticon: It also led to a number of duplicate posts containing the emoticon on Reddit. The emoticon became particularly notable among the English-speaking players in early July 2011, when several major video-streaming services for the popular e-Sport experienced downtime due to the waves of heavy distributed denial-of-service attacks.Įventually, a Starcraft player and Reddit user johnelwaysteeth channeled his frustration by posting the emoticon in the comments thread, which was met by positive reaction and upvotes on the link-sharing community.

In Japan, the trope is known as Flipping Tables or Return Tea Table (ちゃぶ台返し, Chabudai Gaeshi) which has been illustrated through characters like Ittetsu Hoshi in the 1968 manga/anime series “Star of the Giants” and Kantaro Terauchi from the 1975 sitcom series “Terauchi Kantaro’s Family." The act of flipping a table out of anger has been typically associated with portrayal of frustrated fathers and husbands in fiction and TV shows as well as manga and anime series.
