ADDENDUM to the Unofficial Smilie Dictionary
from Creative Loafing, June 3, 1995
"Smile in Your Face" by Rodger Brown.
What seemed to peeve the founder of the SOSS was a perceived sense that
the use of smileys counts as laziness. He suggested taht smileys are crutches
for the illiterate and verbally handicapped. If you can't get your meaning
across using just words, he says, then you need to stop and rewrite until you
can.
The SOSS was intended, I suspect, partly as a joke, but the attack on
the use of smileys did not go unchallenged. Quickly a number of discussion
lists were cluttered with postings defending the use of smileys as a
paralinguistic adaptation to communication on line. Smileys make up for
the lack of face-to-face communication, the defenders argued. Smileys
take the pleace of the wink, the nod, the cocked head, the raised
eyebrow, the curled lip, the pursed mouth, the rolled eyes, the flapping
hands and the flared nostrils that make basic ones as well as are some
that we suggest that be put into heavier rotation:
:-)The basic smiley. Suggests good humor.
;-)The basic wink. Signals an inside joke among co-conspirators.
:-(The basic frown. Means "I'm frowning."
`:-)Boyish grin
8-)Boi-oi-oi-oing. Means "What a deal! or "I've just seen you naked."
:-{)"I'm a guy with a pencil-line moustache and a plaid jacket and I hang
out in the lounge at the Holiday Inn. See you there, baby."
:-Q"I'm getting ashes in my keyboard."
:-VYap yap yap yap yap.
:-9Licking lips, full of anticipation. Also can be spelled 8-9
]-OIt's your little boy talkin to ya, Mammy.
<:-)I like Chinese food.
:-/Wisecracking toughguy. A variation of "I'm getting ashes in my
keyboard."
:-@My boss makes me puke.
:-#Top secret. Eat this e-mail.
X-]ben out late. escuez th etyposs.
:-()Beavis' "huh, huh huh huh huh, huh huh."
;->>Butt-head's "heh, heh heh heh, heh."
:-2Right now I feel like one of those people in movies who go crazy and
stand in front of bathroom mirrors and smear their mouths with
lipstick.
%-)I'm drunk, but in a good way.
%-@I'm drunk, but in a bad way.
*C:-)I am an enlightened being who has opened the channels to my seventh
chakra, so you need to listen to what I have to say.
<+:-)I'm running for Pope.
o>-<I look like Kate Moss.
