An Emote Question

[Teenr0cker]

T_T


What do you see? Do you see a -_- with a trail of tears coming down or do you the | portions as the eyes and the dashes as the eyebrows? I've often pondered the actual use of that emote, as I've used it both ways.

[JLAF]

I always thought of it as a sad face. Like the saying "long face." Because the "T"s make it look long... So more of a crying way... yeah...

[Shindy]

i always found that aas -.- crying. korean version of that is --; btw.

[Sarcasm]

--; equals sweating out of stupidity, more often then not, the user's.
T_T is the stupid crying smiley
~.^ is the freaky Ghoti smiley

[Shindy]

we use it so much that it doesnt have anything close to that meaning.

[Fitz Tayo]

I've always seen it as somebody frowning, it sorta looks like it with the top lines.

[Wellsy]

Personally, I see it as a -_-, but the |'s don't seem like tears to me, just some kind of weird cheek tattoos.

[Flibbo]

i always saw the long bits of the T as the eyes. I honestly never considered them as tears.

[Teenr0cker]

I'd started with this intent, crying twin waterfalls as they say on Excel Saga, but I've grown to use it as a long face.

[Angel_OA]

It always looked to me like a clown face...

[Teenr0cker]

well angelfire fucked me over...whatever, I dont care




In other news, Jlaf, I stumbled on to some über-azn starcraft forum a while back and your icon is one of several dozen garden varieties I noticed.



CONFORM TO THE NONCONFORMING IDEAL!

netizens can interpret it to tears easier and faster.
