    Default What's your favourite/most hated smiley?

    What's everyone's favourite smileys and what do you think it's supposed to mean? And what's everybody's hated smileys and what do you think they're saying?

    My fav: It is the generic statement of "hey, look, I'm smiling!!!"

    and Because I look Asian :)

    My most hated one: This one always get on my nerves when someone uses it. It's like "oh, you're sooooo stupid/I'm getting tired of this..."

    I find the most useful when posting in overwrought threads. I use as an expression of goodwill and to foster community spirit.

    But my favorite is probably . When AdrianII uses it in one of his urbane posts in the backroom, I somehow feel it's like watching him through a webcam. [I confess I don't really know what it means - may be someone can explain?]

    I think I share your most hated one.

    is my favorite too. Probably because I try to take a laid-back attitude in life, as a counter to my rather serious temper.

    Also, becuase I love alcohol (being Irish).

    RTW, 167 BC: Rome expels Greek philosophers after the Lex Fannia law is passed. This bans the effete and nasty Greek practice of 'philosophy' in favour of more manly, properly Roman pursuits that don't involve quite so much thinking.

    Favorite:

    It is so flexible - not only can it mean "reading a book", it can mean "curious", "scared", "confused" and variations on those.

    I don't much like because it looks ugly.
