Emoticons & Acronyms for the Enhancement of Your Life

October 24, 2011
by • 7 Comments

There are times in life when it simply isn’t enough to say ‘hahaha’ or ‘LOL’ or whatever crazy abbreviation you use to express laughter.  Sometimes, a smiley face just won’t do.  Sometimes… sometimes, dear reader, a colon apostrophe open paren combo doesn’t adequately express your sadness.  :’(  <—JUST NOT SAD ENOUGH.

What does one do when the average emoticon cannot suffice?

You make up your own.  Here, let me get you started.

D:  {dismay!}

*<|:)  {Happy birthday!}

{:^)—|—<  {I’m a little stick figure man.}

LOLFRY  {Laughing Out Loud, For Real, Y’all}

$:)  {Conan O’Brien}

:)X  {Bowtie Smiley}

>:O  {I’m so violently angry right now.}

IWPYITF  {I wannu punch you in the face.}

>.<  {Squinty Cringe Face}

O.O  {I X’d out my screen immediately, but not before salacious pop-ups threatened my job security.}

FF  {Friggy-frig}

ROFLCIOF  {Rolling on the floor cause I’m on fire}

@:/–B–<  {I’m not looking forward to my annual breast exam.}

!!!!!!  {OH MY DANG!}

?????  {WHAT?}

!?!?!?!?!  {OH MY DANG, SAY WHAAAAT?!}

:E  {Walrus Face}

*\o/*  {Throw your hands in the ayuhh, if youse a true playaa!}

 

I hope this has helped you.  Go forth, loved one, and express yourself.
