A thread about :/

<p>Where did you find your info? pm me, harvey can’t know.</p>

<p>Ughh I also tried simply Googling :confused: but I epic-failed. Damn itt!</p>

<p>Time to Google “how to Google smilies” ;)</p>

<p>^ Someone is REALLY bored.</p>

<p>^ Yes indeed. :(</p>

<p>Haha I did the google cc search.</p>

<p>I don’t think that works…</p>

<p>it does… I just tried.</p>

<p>^Now try it without including the ‘:/’</p>

<p>I only use :\ . Tons of people I know use :confused: …I never realized it was supposed to be a CC thing. I use :\ interchangeably with :S , but I think the latter is too IM-y and horrible sometimes.</p>

<p>^ I learned it from Warts, but it must be common enough that facebook chat formats it ( >:O ).</p>

<p>Hijack: what is the difference between o<em>O and O</em>o? </p>

<p>I also enjoy -_-, which people use when they are mildly dissatisfied with you</p>

<p>I tend to use =<em>= over -</em>- , since it demonstrates the constant presence of eyebags.</p>

<p>I think O<em>o vs. o</em>O is just a matter of typing preference. I usually use the former (when I use that emoticon at all), but I think it’s just got something to do with whether you prefer to use the shift key first or second.</p>

<p>Hijack! Living in Asia, I have kind of a warped view of this, so- do you guys use Asian smileys often? I mean, the kind we’ve just been talking about: -<em>- , O</em>o , T_T , etc.</p>

<p>i started using -<em>- & o</em>0 [the number 0, not the capital O…for the look of added craziness]
quite often, but am still annoyed when other people use the <em>legit</em> asian smileys:
T_T (as you have said), X], XD, X), etc.
…idk, just bothers me : P</p>

<p>do people use :slight_smile: or ^^</p>

<p>I use :slight_smile: when I feel special.</p>

<p>XD is an Asian smiley? No way! I always thought it was a…white-people smiley.</p>

<p>I don’t use ^_^. Kingdom of Loathing scared me away from it.</p>

<p>(You’re fighting an Anime Smiley</p>

<p>This innocent combination of Shift+6 and the underscore has somehow mutated into a freakish grinning face. OMG kawaiiiii!!!111!)</p>

<p>^_^ is such an innocent face…how are you scared of that? xD</p>

<p>“do people use :slight_smile: or ^^”</p>

<p>those are annoying, as well :]</p>

<p>lol why? ^_^</p>

<p>^___________^ Yutanari-Moe is Vely Ronery.</p>

<p>:/ is older than the internet. Its been around for like 10 years</p>

<p>oh, and I know that the internet is older than that - its a saying.</p>
