(n) A Japanese emoticon symbolizing a cat. This icon is called a "neko" for those who are deeply immersed in the Japanese Culture. To use this emoticon, wait for someone to say something that you wish to respond to with a cute smile.

note: this is most commonly used by females. this can be used as an answer to a question or comment, or however else you wish to use an emoticon.

The two states of being are as a human being, or a hungry ghost. Semi-regularly you need to ask yourself which you are. Sometimes it is human. Others, alas, it is hungry ghost.

The hungry ghost seeks validity outside of themselves. Someone pining for an indifferent ex is a hungry ghost. Someone who arrives alone at 6:30 on Saturday night to a pub is probably a hungry ghost. Obsessive checking of mobile phones, chat sites or networks are clear signs that one is a hungry ghost.

The best thing to do is just stay home and ride it out. Read a book. Find some good clean fun.

A variable of the ^.^ or ^_^ face. Most coming from someone who is trying to cuten up the face by adding whiskers. This gives a cat like effect.
