After MSN Messenger, I lost all fondness in smilies. MSN’s smilies are appalling if not worse. However, for those of you who prefer real smilies, I have here a list of smilies I or some of my friends devised. Most are quite straight-forward, some are, well, not.

My favouritest smilies, in UTF-8
Smiley Description
!) Fucking huge wink
:} Goofy grin while wrinkling lips
:—) Why the long face?
=Þ I hate :P
:·)~ Dog’s face
[:] A person in a small box
:-ı Rather undecided whether to laugh or not
,’\-) “Hey handsome.”
‘-’ Tiny, Japanese smiley
‘=’ “Hello? Spider-Man? I am gay! For you!”

Credit where credit is due. Also, be inventive. You happen to know a nice one? Comments are open!

    I never knew you hated :P. I like it. You should’ve told me to stop.

    I like :O too.

    Yeah, MSN’s emoticons are rather...lacking. Nice ones you got there. I’ve found Trillian had some nice smilies, but only compatible with other Trillian users, so that wasn’t much use. Looks like good old text emoticons will always win in the end.

    Why would you use Hey handsome.?!

    Mathias, that look is clearly a wink not to be used by straight men. I do not imply this either. However, women are welcome—you get my point :P

    Now your insurance will have to pay, because I did fell off my chair while laughing. =Þ

    Nice smilies you’ve got there.

    I personnaly also like the o_0 or even better is _ which represents a sort of happy face I guess. I actually don’t know whether you guys consider this as a smilie but I often definitely use it as a smilie.

    Anyway, espect for the invention of the ,’-), I really enjoy it! _

    Ah... _ is one I can’t stand! Same with o_O. They take way too long to type.

    The world is not taking full advantage of all the possible characters. Look I just made up some new ones using the alt key.

    I hope the world sees your site and takes a large step towards returning to the iconographic languages of the past.

    Thanks for the laugh
