Common Internet emoticons

Emoticons, little character faces created using your keyboard, can be used for a number of reasons and can be helpful when trying to portray your tone of voice or your feelings behind what you're saying in a post. They can be tagged onto the end or beginning of a message and can help the person reading to understand what you're feeling when you say something. While they can't replace a well-crafted point of view, they can help to shorten postings while still maintaining a sense of meaning. :-Z      Angry (((H)))      Big hug :-X      Big wet kiss (:-      Blank expression #-)      Blinking :-!      Bored ;-(      Chin up :-S      Confused H-)      Cross-eyed :*(      Crying :-@!      Cursing >:->      Devilish :-e      Disappointed :#)      Drunk <:-l      Dunce :")      Embarrassed :-!      Foot in mouth :-W      Forked tongue :-(      Frowning smiley :-/      Frustrated =:-)      Funny hair :-)      Happy smiley %-)      Happy drunk :-#      Has braces :-`|      Have a cold :0      Hungry :-T      Keeping a straight face :)      Kid smiley :-x      Kiss :-*      Kiss on the cheek :-D      Laughing >;->      Lewd remark :-(*)      Makes me sick :-?      Pensive :-C      Really unhappy :-(      Sad :-d      Said with a smile :-/      Skeptical :-,      Smirk ,-)      Winking happy ;-)      Winking variation
