nerdgirl 0 #1 October 20, 2009 So, what does the -emoticon mean to you? Given: It's likely that we all can imagine contexts or individuals where it might lean more to one meaning or another, but in general, what do you think it means? /Marg Act as if everything you do matters, while laughing at yourself for thinking anything you do matters.

nerdgirl 0 #10 October 20, 2009 Quote = #3...unless in SC. Hmmm, for me, when I use [], I've generally intended it to imply making fun of myself or something that I wrote self-deprecatingly. Interesting to me to find out other interpretations. /Marg Act as if everything you do matters, while laughing at yourself for thinking anything you do matters.

Persians have a self deprecating sense of humor that most Americans don't seem to get so that's what I use it for. Oh and to indicate that a girl is hot.

wmw999 2,584 #19 October 20, 2009 It pretty much means #2 to me all the time, including in SC. At least when I use it there, that's what I mean. And I'll probably continue to take it that way. It makes me feel better BTW -- this is #2 on nerdgirl's poll, NOT the #2 of American child vernacular Wendy P. There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence.
