Emoticons 101
What they really mean
:-) Smiley face. The mother of all emoticons. It's the oldest and the most used emoticon, but it's not going anywhere. Use it to dull the edges of your sarcasm or just let people know you're A-OK
;-) The wink. Oh, you sneaky devil. Although this looks very similar to the smiley face, it actually has a lot of meaning and innuendo. That means you probably shouldn't use this with your mom or your poker buddies.
:-p Sticking out tounge. No, this is not mean. It means that you or someone else is being silly. use sparingly; it's kinda lame.
:-D Laugh. Hmmmmmmm....... a laughing emoticon. Wonder what that means? Seriously though, use this guy 2 take some pressure off your LOLs. They can really get old after a while.
:-$ Money mouth. Nobody knows what that means. When you talk, does money spill out? Are your words worth their weight in collectible coins? Or, are you flashing virtual gold teeth? Our money is on leaving this one alone.
:-( Frown. Awww, you're sad. Use this emoticon to weild your sorrows like a passive switchblade. Or, if you're the one who's ruining the plan, just throw it out to prep him/her 4 the bad news.
:'( Cry. Well, if you are crying over an IM, then you either have emotional problems or you're a cowardly relationship-breaker-offer. But barring that, the crying face is mostly used as a funny way to say that u were hoping for a different answer. However, deep that tear goes, only you will know.
Top 3 Things to Remember About Emoticons:
1. Guys shouldn't send other guys emoticons. Unless they like the other guy. A lot.
2. No emoticons until you've met the person face 2 face, or at least sent a picture. Unless of course, your face actually resembles a semicolon.
3. Never use the cool emoticon. It's the virtual equivalent of a fanny pack
