Emoticons

Post Reply New Topic

Have been posting on here for months and have always been curious about what some of the emoticons mean. So, if someone would enlighten me on the meaning of in particular, I'd have my mystery solved.

If you hover your cursor over each emoticon, a little block will appear that names each emoticon. (If you have Windows Xp or later, or Mac OS 9 or later, that is...)

I had the same problem as you and I still get offended some times when I see the more negative oes in relation to something I have written...especially when I think they are mad when they are only confused(I have the same problem with real faces as far as those two emotions go ...they both looked pissed off to me. I actually think that once you learn them they can help clarify what your "tone" is when you write...something I could use in my RL encounters.

I learned them as the above poster stated...just put the area over one for a bit and it will say what it is suposed to be.

Emoticons are the devil's M&Ms.

Oh, I get it! Had never looked at them that long to see the description come up . Thanks very much everyone for your .

I have always thought it so funny that people known for not understanding facial expressions use emoticons!
I ALWAYS have to hover my mouse over them to find out what they mean!

except this one I have seen it all my life as reaction to me.
I know EXACTLY what it means!
