+1

As a telephone number, +1 represents the North American Numbering Plan - which covers much of the English-speaking Caribbean as well as Canada, the US and its possessions. It's much like the "+1" concept in event invitations - you want to invite Canada, but they won't come unless you let them bring their loud, obnoxious neighbor as a "+1".

Life was so much simpler before the phone companies found computers. Instead of singing "PEnnsylvania 6-5000" all of the musicians stand up and call out "[phone]" now? Where's the tradition in that?

1*

A term originally created by a sergeant with the Los Angeles Police Department SWAT Team. Designed as a reminder that in fact you only have "one ass to risk"(1 as-te-risk), so you'd better be careful.

Don't get yourself shot tonight, you only have 1* and a whole life ahead of you.

A sideways-style text smiley. The colon represents the eyes, and the one represents a straight-forward mouth. The line's dent(s) at the tip(s) represents the curve of a lip.
It's used to show that you're neutral when it comes to what you're saying or reading. Not happy. Not upset. Just regular.

Ramon: How are you today? ^_^
