The ">" and "<" refers to the eyes that squint, and the triple "/" is for the blushing on the face. So this tells people that you're blushing so hard, embarrassed, but in a text way.

An embarrassed/frustrated smiley usually used on internet chat or role-playing sites. The > and < are the eyes and indicate that the smiley is squinting in frustration (like ><, >_<, >-<, or >.<) The // mean that the smiley is blushing.

Not to be confused with '^//^' which indicates the user is blushing with happiness/excitement which has to do with love.

>//< is usually used in a situation in which one would be humiliated or ashamed. Is usually but not always used by Anime fans, Role-players, or just purely awesome people.

pod person 

A person pretending to be something they aren't, or an impostor. This is inferred because of the old alien movies where alien pods appear on earth and the "pod people" dispose of the humans and slowly reproduce the bodies, pretending to be humans.
The pod person was pretending to be my father, but I knew that he was an alien when he acted differently than my father ever would have.
