Get the :P: mug.An emoticon generally meant to look like a face with a tongue hanging out. like other emoticons/smileys, it's frequently used in IM conversations, forum posts text messages, etc., especially by younger people. It usually signifies one of the following:
1. Somewhat sheepish (but good-humored) acknowledgment of (usually one's own) silliness, foolishness, absentmindedness, or ineptness. While often used to reflect one's own state, it is also used in reference to others or situations.
2. Mild disgust, in other words, a stand-in for "ew" "yuck". (More profound revulsion can be expressed with "XP", which is similarly meant to depict a hanging tongue, but adds eyes squinted shut or nearly shut)
3. Tongue sticking out tauntingly. (Less common. As said earlier, :P is usually is interpreted as a tongue *hanging* out, not protruding straight forward)
This emoticon is a less literal depiction of expression than some other emoticons. For instance, someone who says in an IM conversation "I totally flunked the history test today :P" would not be likely to actually let his or her tongue actually loll out thus if the same conversation was held face-to-face. It probably has its roots in long standing cartoon practice of showing stupid/knocked-out/dazed people with their tongues limply hanging out like a dog's tongue on a hot day.
The P is often capitalized, but not always. Additionally, there are variants forms like :-P, =P, :b, :-b, :-Þ, :Þ, etc.

Get the :P mug.Appearing in the anime FLCL OVA on the front of Haru Haruko's (caricature) yellow vespa, a white letter "P" and exclamation point encircled in black is widely accepted as a logo representing the Japanese rock group "The Pillows."
Was it created by the animators as spontaneous endorsement? Is it an infamously old band logo resurfaced? Originally some confused representation of Piaggio-Vespa? probably the most former, everyone seems to be going with it.
While not popularly recognized in it's own country, "P!" seems to have a runaway success story in the United States due to the promotion of American anime and J-rock fans alike- the result being that FLCL, The Pillows and the "P!" logo seem to carry a synonyms relationship.

Get the :P mug.This is a variant of :P, adding the wink to denote sly humor in sticking the tongue out. The combination produces the effect of not taking one's self seriously in a sort of facetious playfulness. This may either be used to qualify a statement or ascribe the character of a comment.
(qualifying a statement):
viscera: my friends left the room for a couple parts
Shadow: haha, and you didnt?
viscera: I'm not as queezy as them ;p
Shadow: I need to get a job =(
viscera: just go smelt iron with Rob ;p
(ascribing meaning): That's just like...your opinion...man ;p
