emoticombo

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.

emoticobligation

The urge, when writing an ironic or sarcastic email, to include an smiley-face “emoticon”—even if you absolutely expletive hate those expletive little things
—Oxford English Dictionary, deleted excerpt, 2004 edition

I really felt an emoticobligation after writing that nasty email to my stupid coworker.
