The Unofficial Smile Dictionary


 
 :-)   Your basic smilie. This smilie is used to inflect a sarcastic or
      joking statement since we can't hear voice inflection over Unix.
 ;-)   Winky smilie. User just made a flirtatious and/or sarcastic remark.
      More of a "don't hit me for what I just said" smilie.
 :-(   Frowning smilie. User did not like that last statement or is upset
      or depressed about something. 
 :-I   Indifferent smilie. Better than a Frowning smilie but not quite as
      good as a happy smilie 
 :->   User just made a really biting sarcastic remark. Worse than a :-). 
 >:->  User just made a really devilish remark. 
 >;->  Winky and devil combined. A very lewd remark was just made.
