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.

The safeguarding of Earth and other worlds from biological cross-contamination (i.e. billionaires with too much time on their hands).
Also known as “planetary protection.” Planetary protection / quarantine “reflects both the unknown nature of the space environment and the desire of the scientific community to preserve the pristine nature of celestial bodies until they can be studied in detail.”
There are two types of interplanetary contamination. Forward contamination is the transfer of viable organisms from Earth to another celestial body. Back contamination is the transfer of extraterrestrial organisms, if such exist, back to the Earth's biosphere.

Billionaires are having a dick swinging space race while the earth experiences record breaking heatwaves that cause sea creatures to literally cook inside their shells. We need planetary quarantine.
