Ambiguous posting icons

Been a bit red-faced to inquire about this before because I figure it's explained somewhere but oh well .... How are the above icon symbols supposed to be used: the spotlight (?), the mug, the megaphone (?), and most especially, the green weevil ????? P.S. I used the infuriated frownie icon because I wanted to have a chance to use it just once. No harm intended!

While drinking hard cider out of your mug and spotlighting around the fields, you note the dreaded green weevils in the corn and megaphone a warning to other farmers. *Ta-dum* Note this has no actual relevance to using the icons, I'm just entertaining myself.

Yes, its Tolkienia-style, in the 'Thieves! Fire! Murder!' school of thought

and I wonder what the math is when calculating the amount of hard cider imbibed proportional to the number of green weevils seen. Maybe we can study that at the University of Tolkienia.

over near the Entwives museum. It offers quite advance coursework, including a Scholastic Phlosiphy course where the students try to determine how many weevils can dance on the handle of a pitchfork. Oddly, while the college is have trouble attracting grants, thousands of aphids have applied.

have seen no weevil, can't understand them, for I speak no weevil. Where did you learn their ways? (Can they be infiltrated??)

Where did you learn their ways? (Can they be infiltrated??) but I recognize certain phrases very well. Like, 'Hey, who's that giant chick with the sprayer?'

I like the smaller ones. I always choose the lesser of two weevils. //

has precipitated an upweevil of remorseless punsters. Does the gaffer have a spray for that? (Would you look at that! I've found an opportunity to deploy the bug icon!! Thanks all! )

Yikes!! My OP has precipitated an upweevil of remorseless punsters. Does the gaffer have a spray for that? As in, it makes the puns take off in all different, unrelated directions.

You know, maybe 'weevil' (small letters) isn't so bad

Maybe its a clever mashup representing mild naughtiness, like 'evil' that is 'wee'; as in, "I ate the last English muffin and put a rolled up napkin in its place to fool you all,' versus WE! EVIL! as in Trump's hairpiece.
