Txt speak

[RedBike]

What does :$ mean when it's at the end of a txt message?

 

[montage]

well it is an confused face is it not?

 

[Radius]

I think it's similar to :S, which on here is , confused / worried.

 

[Melvil]

it could be someone stuffing dollar bills in their mouth?!

 

[buggi]

could it mean "kerching!" ???

 

[yenrod]

Years ago I managed to get a flashing smiley but never realised how I did it !

 

[Maz]

Maybe the rest of the message will provide some context.

Kerching? Is that another rude word I Don't know?

Kerching? Is that another rude word I Don't know?

As in:
'I saw her kerching in the woods last weekend.'
'He was quietly kerching himself so as not to wake the others.'
The dog was kerching itself, the children had to look the other way.'
'Kerching was banned in the US in the 1930's and is still illegal in some States.'

Ker-ching! Sound of a cash till.

:$ makes a confused face on MSN Messenger. That's what I'd assume.

I much prefer NightTrain's suggestions.

 

[Yellow Fang]

Why not :S

Ok, how about :s

:$ it is.

 

[Abitrary]

The thing i miss most about txt speak these days is the missing hyphen indicating a nose.

It is just laziness.

 

[buggi]

i prefer the faces without the hyphen tho. they look cuter.

kerching... as in "i've come in to money/i see money coming my way"
