Using the proper smiley... or not

[Fnaar]

I've just realised that I might be using certain smileys wrongly.
This one is called 'very happy', but I use it to mean 'I find this funny'.
This one is called 'approve', but I use it to mean 'I feel smug about this, but perhaps only in a playful way that i don't really want you to take seriously'.
These things are important.

That looks ok to me

I'd go with your interpretations for those - it's the closed eyes that makes the happy one look like it's really really laughing.

is supposed to be 'surprised' but I think does it better.

We should ask an expert - I understand dellzeqq is very keen on smileys!

My god what a bunch of idiots. Don't you have something more important to worry about or are you guys really that sad?

 

[Brahan]

S**t I mean

I've said for some time we need a few more smileys.

Now, we don't use the 'brown' word thank you!

 

[Brahan]

erm, yes.

I like this one - - to portray a feeling of resignation, despair and a kind of 'FFS'!

Could also be 'I'm hungover and I'm going to puke at anytime now'!

I love smilies. Though I'm a pedantic bugger so at the same time don't like the animated ones that bounce about a lot.....



Where's a baseball bat when you need it?

And I'm not sure what this one is supposed to be about: ?

Nice, never noticed that one before. Not as cute as the wee evil guy though.

This one -> = Razz.

WTF is Razz?

I do like the hyper one that soulful dog isn't keen on.
