More smileys
I have an extensive collection of them here. BTW, I usually include a "-" (for the nose), as in ":-)". Is that no longer done? J. Noel Chiappa 19:18, 20 March 2008 (CDT)
- I think it's best to include a "variatiation" section then just adding to the list. --Robert W King 20:06, 20 March 2008 (CDT)
A smiley subculture ...
Unfortunately I can't provide a source for this, only years of message boards amongst different groups, but I had been told that smileys like ^_^ -_- and such originate from, or are more widely used by, anime/manga followers ... I really don't know how to go about credibly verifying this claim, though it is something I observe often.
BTW, Joel, I use 'nose' variants as well--it's a bit cutesy of me to admit it here but I like :0) myself.Louise Valmoria 20:16, 20 March 2008 (CDT)

- So far, a quick search seems to term them as 'Japanese' smileys: i.e. here and here. And it actually makes a bit of sense to me, seeing them termed as Japanese smileys, given as I have often seen them come from anime fans.Louise Valmoria 20:28, 20 March 2008 (CDT)
