In
internet chatting, when you use
two (or more) emoticons to express a more complicated emotion for which there is no
pre-established emoticon this is an emoticombo. They are subjective (no actual right or wrong) and are all in the eye of the composer and recipient.
:'( :) = i miss you
:-o :-/ x-( = why the hell did you tell me that, you're my
sister
B-) :D = i'm so awesome and smug about my awesomeness
:-| :-( x-( :-( :-| = i'm tired and
don't want to be at work
(just some of the endless possibilities for emoticombos - also, they look
weird in italics)
Note: these examples were designed specifically for Gchatters.
