(A person confused why nobody will talk to him, unaware that he has an alligator on his head)

It distracts people long enough as so I can changed the subject!


That's funny, and I appreciate all the feedback.

I generally use -_- as a sort of sigh/fed up face.

¬_¬ is generally one I use to show sarcasm, sort of "yeah, right"

:P - sticking tongue out

^_^ - very happy, sort of like a "yay"

to be honest, most faces that get used on a regular basis are generic and simple, and can be guessed from just looking at them.

Best thing to do is show us examples of the ones you mean.

They are all very obvious I think tbh. If they don't look like what they are showing, I don't think they should be used.

0_o = Puzzled or "Really!? (sarcastic) -Stretching one eye open further than the other

-_- = Sarcastic look, or evil stare sorta thing, slightly closed eyes

-_0 = Most commonly a wink, see the one eye open the other closed?

This list shows a few more examples with a kind of "Don't go there girlfriend" description.
