What was wrong with calling them smilies?

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

[The Sleeper]

cause some of them don't smile.

[Kid Afrika]

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

[The Sleeper]

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

[Kid Afrika]

Smilies.

[The Sleeper]

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

[Kid Afrika]

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".

Good day, sir.
