smiley
smilies
/ee-moh'ti-kon/ (Or "smiley") An ASCII glyph
used to indicate an emotional state in text-only {electronic
messaging} systems such as chat, electronic mail, SMS or
news. Although originally intended mostly as jokes,
emoticons are widely recognised if not expected; the lack of
verbal and visual cues can otherwise cause non-serious
comments to be misinterpreted, resulting in offence, arguments
and flame wars.
Hundreds of emoticons have been proposed, but only a few are
in common use. These include:
:-) "smiley face" (for humour, laughter,
friendliness, occasionally sarcasm)
:-( "frowney face" (for sadness, anger, or upset)
;-) "half-smiley" (ha ha only serious); also
known as "semi-smiley" or "winkey face".
:-/ "wry face"
These are more recognisable if you tilt your head to the left.
The first two are by far the most frequently encountered.
Hyphenless forms of them are also common. The acronym "lol"
is also often used in the same context for the same effect
(and is easier to type).
The emoticon was invented by one Scott Fahlman on the CMU
bboard systems on 1982-09-19. He later wrote: "I had no
idea that I was starting something that would soon pollute all
the world's communication channels." GLS confirms that he
remembers this original posting, which has subsequently been
{retrieved from a backup
(http://research.microsoft.com/~mbj/Smiley/BBoard_Contents.html)}.
As with exclamation marks, overuse of the smiley is a mark of
loserhood! More than one per paragraph is a fairly sure sign
that you've gone over the line.

/ee·moh'ti·kon/, n.
[common] An ASCII glyph used to indicate an emotional state in email or
news. Although originally intended mostly as jokes, emoticons (or some
other explicit humor indication) are virtually required under certain
circumstances in high-volume text-only communication forums such as Usenet;
the lack of verbal and visual cues can otherwise cause what were intended
to be humorous, sarcastic, ironic, or otherwise non-100%-serious comments
to be badly misinterpreted (not always even by newbies), resulting in
arguments and flame wars.
Hundreds of emoticons have been proposed, but only a few are in common use.
These include:
┌───┬─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│:-)│‘smiley face’ (for humor, laughter, friendliness, occasionally │
│ │sarcasm) │
├───┼─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│:-(│‘frowney face’ (for sadness, anger, or upset) │
├───┼─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│;-)│‘half-smiley’ ( ha ha only serious); also known as semi-smiley or │
│ │winkey face. │
├───┼─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│:-/│‘wry face’ │
└───┴─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
(These may become more comprehensible if you tilt your head sideways, to
the left.) The first two listed are by far the most frequently encountered.
Hyphenless forms of them are common on CompuServe, GEnie, and BIX; see also
bixie. On Usenet, smiley is often used as a generic term synonymous
with emoticon, as well as specifically for the happy-face emoticon.
The invention of the original smiley and frowney emoticons is generally
credited to Scott Fahlman at CMU in 1982. He later wrote: “I wish I had
saved the original post, or at least recorded the date for posterity, but I
had no idea that I was starting something that would soon pollute all the
world's communication channels.” In September 2002 the original post was
recovered.
There is a rival claim by one Kevin McKenzie, who seems to have proposed
the smiley on the MsgGroup mailing list, April 12 1979. It seems likely
these two inventions were independent. Users of the PLATO educational
system report using emoticons composed from overlaid dot-matrix graphics in
the 1970s.
Note for the newbie: Overuse of the smiley is a mark of loserhood! More
than one per paragraph is a fairly sure sign that you've gone over the
line.
