Emoticonfused

when you use the wrong emoticon while typing.

I'm sorry I sent you a smiley face when you told me you had HIV. I'm so emoticonfused because I meant to send a frowny face.

emoticobligation

The urge, when writing an ironic or sarcastic email, to include an smiley-face “emoticon”—even if you absolutely hate those little things.

I felt I had an emoticobligation after writing that sarcastic email to my stupid coworker.

Emoticonally

When words cannot describe what you are feeling; and only emoticons can convey your thought processes.

I was emoticonally scarred after watching that breastfeeding video in Biology.
