The Unofficial Smilie Dictionary

 

:-)   Your basic smilie. This smilie is used to inflect a sarcastic or

      joking statement since we can't hear voice inflection over Unix.

;-)   Winky smilie. User just made a flirtatious and/or sarcastic

      remark.

      More of a "don't hit me for what I just said" smilie.

:-(   Frowning smilie. User did not like that last statement or is upset

      or depressed about something.

:-I   Indifferent smilie. Better than a Frowning smilie but not quite as

      good as a happy smilie

:->   User just made a really biting sarcastic remark. Worse than a :-).

>:->  User just made a really devilish remark.

>;->  Winky and devil combined. A very lewd remark was just made.
