What is your meaning of using emoticons?

30 Jan 2009

What use are emoticons?
The ones I use might mean different things to me than to you.
So here is a few I use and the reasons why I use them.
rolleyes

I use this one with a cheeky smile on my face a bit like a tut and eyes raise to the ceiling, either out of embarassment after being caught out doing something silly.
redface

I use when I blush this could be out of feeling naughty or made a complete fool of myself.
:shock: this could be when someone says something that take me by suprise and I find so funny.
:P this I would use in a bit of banter when I feel tit for tat..when something has been said in gest and I feel I have countered back.
:twisted: This I use when I feel in a mischevious and naughty mood.
:rascal: This is when I feel flirty
I have given I few of my secrets away
I would never use emoticons in a bad meaning way, if I have something to say I will say it.
What emoticons do you use and why?

My scacastic style of sense of humour, has got me into trouble on occassions!
Just because I know what I mean, I expect everyone else to as well.
Not always the case!
So for me, using the smiley faces and laughter emotions hopefully can convey to all how I am feeling as I type a post.
Resonance man......one good reply above me there!

There was an autistic member on here a while ago who liked people to use emticons. She said that it was easier for her to understand exactly what was meant as she didn't pick up on jokes, irony etc

That's a good point Keeno...
"You complete tit!"
is different from
"You complete tit!" lol

and
"You complete tit!" mad

I must admit I sometimes find it hard to gauge whether people are being sensible, silly or serious. Emoticons help in that respect.

I love the emotes. In fact, many of my posts have been just a couple of emotes. It's a kind of shorthand to me. I get really frustrated when I type a work email because I feel gagged without emotes. :cry:
