I was looking at a website and it allowed for comments on a particular artist and a number of responses were this: <3 What does this mean or what is it supposed to look like? I’m just out of it I guess.

Any other interesting emoticons out there that this old broad might want to know about or use?

That’s a heart (sideways)... it took me forever to get that one, too!

Different emoticons are used for different sites, so there is quite a variety out there.

Well I must have a dirty mind because when I first saw <3, I thought penis.
MrItty, great list but you forgot one;

Well that’s what I thought, MrItty, so I was very o_O! (also written as =S or :-S)
Luckily I worked it out before I disclosed this to anyone. That could have been awkward… and rather embarrassing.

There must be some off-color ones. These two are ones that my dear ex-sister-in-law uses frequently when referring to a person who is an ass, or one who is a little bit more than bitchy. She has issues, but I <3 her. (There has got to be a better heart out there). Funny, with Fluthers markup they don’t look right so I had to put spaces between the lines. Ahhh well, you get the drift….

Well, sure there’s “off color” ones.
(o)(o) for breasts with slightly more nipular area than AlenaD’s emotion.
<====3 for male genitalia (with more or less =‘s as desired…)
(¡) for female genitalia

etc.
