	'''Gawe''' is an emote on the Gatorbox channel. Similar to [[2cents]] this is an emote that was borrowed from [[RFSHQ]] as part of the initial FrankerFaceZ emoticon lineup. The emote is an amateurish representation of the ":awesome:" emoticon from Something Awful drawn by [[goose]] in 2007 using the whiteboard tools in MSN Messenger. The name of the icon ("gawe") is a portmanteau of "goose" and "awesome". [[Draco]] took a screenshot of the drawing when it was posted in the messenger app because the program did not natively support downloading of images shared via the whiteboard plugin. The screenshot was scaled down to icon size (32x32) to be used as an emote on the RFSHQ message boards. The icon version of Gawe was the one initially used with FrankerFaceZ as the original image was presumed to be lost, however in 2021 Draco found the screenshot with the drawing in its original resolution and used it to replace the compressed version with a full resolution one.
