I think the last two are like... sweating.gif

Yeah, and I think :3 is like... a cat? or someting.
But I think its rather disgusting looking. Kind of reminds me of a slimy thing with lips, and sucks on stuff.. yeah idk. Dont ask.

:3 is like a catlike face people make... or at least that's what I think it is. I believe kyro made a thread in pictures about it once, haha. Mary-Kate Olsen does it a lot, if you want to look it up.

I think the other two are just irritated/sweating faces. I don't actually know.

On the other hand, I didn't know what rofl or lmao meant until ... four years after I heard of it. Which means my Buddha moment was in 8th grade.

-_- is like.. a palmface. Like, "duh". Or "no shit". Or a anime kind of "sweat face".

Usually a ' is added to that... so its like -_-'

Same goes for if you ever see =.=
Or =_=

Or whatever.

:3 is a cat face I believe.. yeah.

(>^^)> whee xD

It's probably just a happy face and a heart.

:3 is kind of like a curious, sly smile. I'm not sure how to explain it. People who are manga/ anime fans usually get it.

-_-" is like an exasperated person. The sweat drop is added for more effect.

:3 is like a cat thing, like everyone said.
-_- is sort of a stubborn face. For example if you say something like "Darn, this page won't load! -_-"
The apostrophe thingies could be eyebrows or something? Never knew.

Nup, T_T is "crying"

The top part of the T is like a long/closed eye and the | long vertical part is like tears running down the face... and then the underscore _ is the mouth. I kinda suck at explaining. Urban dictionary may have some of this.. I think, lol. Also Q_Q is accosiated with crying too.. somehow. I use it alot, just cause its so weird. Same thing... two big eyes, a mouth and two "tears".

qq.

~_~; is similar to -_-; or =_=; or -_-"... depends on what eyes or the sweat you want.

I use "@.@" meaning like confused wacko.gif
I use this too "^^" after some sentences. Kinda hard to explain what it means though.
I do these ones too ">.<" "^_^" "=P" "xD" "-.-" " "O.o" "O.O"

It took me the longest time to see both the crying face and the glare of T_T, which is so conveniently ruined by my font. Oh well, I'm sure we'll cope. :x

instead of people just replying to the same smiles over and over again, we should just make a long list, it'll reduce the amount of repeats and make things more simple.

I never noticed that MK did it until you pointed it out. I just thought of it as her odd lip thing. xD

Anyway, :3 and x3 are often used by anime/manga fans for "SQUEE!" or after seeing something cute. Like, "OMG he's so cute! :3 / x3"

Regarding x3, it's the same thing as :3 except with pinched/closed eyes. Used by non-animanga fans, it's sometimes a heart. For example, since you can't use <3 in Xanga/MySpace/etc. usernames, people use x3 instead.
