Emoticons 101
smile - Smiley face-The mother of all emoticons. It's the oldest, the most tired and certainly the most used, but this happy face isn't going anywhere. Use it to dull the edge of your sarcasm or just let people know you're A-OK!
wink -The wink-Oh you sneaky little devil. Although this looks very similar to the smiley face, it's actually loaded with meaning and innuendo. That means you probably shouldn't use it with your mom or your poker buddies.
xp -Sticking out tongue-No, this is not sexual. It means that you or someone else is being silly. Use sparingly; it's kind of lame.
blaugh -Laugh-Hmmm...a laughing emoticon. Wonder what that means? Seriously though, use this guy to take some pressure of your LOLs. They can really get old after a while.
sad -Frown-Aw...you're sad. Use this emoticon to wield your sorrow like a passive-aggresive switchblade. Or, if you're the one who's running the plan, just throw it out there to prep him/her for the bad news.
-Cry-Well, if you're crying over an IM, then you either have emotional problems, or means of sorrow over a simple matter that exactly shows that you were hoping for something different. However deep that tear goes, only you will know.
And for the other Emoticons, too much, don't ask, you know the rest right? Good. TNX for reading!
