demoticon

A combination of "emoticon" and "demoted." A feeling of being demoted by an important person in your life who suddenly responds to a text or email only with an emoticon — not any words. But a demoticon probably means that the person feels so connected with you that no words are needed. So this is actually a good thing: See promoticon.

demoticon

When someone you're waiting on a reply from spends ages appearing to be typing a message so you expect some lengthy text, but instead simply receive a damning emoticon. Usually a negative result.

A portmanteau of emoticon, con and demote.

Example: Jim: Dude, what did she say when you asked her out?

Fred: Man, I waited ages and then got demoticonned.
