Emoticons
-
Many times you'll see little cryptic codes in messages. There are called emoticons, and are used to express the emotions of normal voice communication -- for example, to indicate that the "snide" comment you just read was really a joke. The following list has been compiled from ten years of reading messages on bulletin boards and CompuServe forums.
emoticon (noun). A figure created with the symbols on the
keyboard. Read with the head tilted to the left. Used to
convey the spirit in which a line of text is typed.
