Emoticons

Marjorie195

Hi, I have looked at the smileys, and while I can see what some of them mean, I am not sure about all of them. Is there an explanation somewhere? I got into trouble on facebook by not using emoticons appropriately. WinkUndecidedTongue Out for example, mean nothing to me. I'm from the dinosaur era, we didn't use such things.

  • I did not realise the first was a wink. But, I have always used a wink to tell some people present that I was lying or teasing, in relation to my children, for example. Maybe this is a regional or generational thing.

    I have looked again at the others and am still lacking inspiration. I get - happy, sad, surprised and laughing and love maybe, but I think top right has been watching too much TV.

    It's a minefield, but I guess that here, many of us are in the same boat, and will give the benefit of the doubt, I hope.
