What was wrong with calling them smilies?

:4: :5: :8: :10: :12: :-( :-D :-p :-) :loveya: :thumbs-up: :clueless: :loveya:

cause some of them don't smile.

and since they are inanimate, they couldn't possibly emote. what's your point? they're still smilies.

they are a manifestation of our own emotions in icon form, thus "emoticons"

Smilies.

it's like calling soda, "pop". It's a proper term, but you still look retarded saying it.

I disagree. "Pop" or "soda" or "cola" are regional terms. "Emoticons" is just some tecnobabble for "smilies". It's pompous, lame and has now been deemed incorrect.

Your argument is weak.

Your points not only moot, but without foundation.

And finally, the fucking button down there vvvvvv says "Click to Open SMILIES".
