Re: Cool Smiles

By the way, what is the proper name for them? I've called them "Smiles" because that is the heading on the menu.

I would like to be ahead of the curve on terminology just once.

Re: Cool Smiles

That's what I've always called them and heard them referred to as.

Re: Cool Smiles

Actually its "smilies" or "smileys" or "emoticons"
Back when the internet was all text they were also. They were small text pictures turned on their side.

Code:

 

:) for a smile 

:( for frown

;) for a wink 

:o for surprise

:D for a grin

>:D for an evil grin

:P for sticking your tongue out

>B{P> evil guy with glasses mustache and a beard sticking his tongue out at you 

(oops, thats me)

Re: Cool Smiles

Thank you both.

But "smiles" seems inadequate for the moving action figures. It works for the standard pictorial representations of text pictures as Gandalf confims, but I do not think it is valid for the really cool action ones.

Here is my stab at giving them a name.

How about "MnM's"? Short for motion and message?;):first::first::first:

Re: Cool Smiles

:)In an amazing coincidence, todays "Blondie" comic calls them "emoticons".:)
