What does O.o mean?

[Gibb]

Nowadays, I see all these kids using all this new, con-fangled Internet shorthand. Most of it i can keep up with, but O.o (sometimes spelled as O_o) has been bugging me for awhile. Is it some kind of new wacky smiley? Or what?!

Forgive my ignorance, but please help an admin in distress!!
-Gibb

[Valjean]

The others are:
^_^; or ^^; = Embarassment.
-_- or -- = Unamusement.
-_-; or --; = Very unamused or frustrated.
>_< or >< = Angry.
._. = Scared or coy.
._., = An extreme of the above.
;_; = Crying.

Anything with a + at the end that is not an eye denotes extreme irritation or frustration. Example, --+.
Anything with an a at the end that is not an eye denotes confusion. Scratching one's head. Example, --a.
Anything with a ; at the end that is not an eye denotes a sweat drop of embarassment or duress. Examples, ^^;, --; and ><;.

[Gibb]

Whew, I'm behind the times. Heck, in my day, we stuck with : ), ; ), : ( and the occasional :-\

/end old guy talk.

Thanks though, i appreciate it!

[Carnage]

Muahahaha...

[Valjean]

Hey Hey Hey, there's only one old guy on these boards, and he's me. Back off. :tu:

[ZeroDarkStar]

Who's youngn' on this board? Werewolf?

[Protosschick99]

Pretty much. I'm sure there's younger--But he's like the leader of the youngster's, lolz.

ppl like DC, Mystikal, elcap, Nuts, Carnage, Saffron, etc, and I are like the old school peeps who never used those until recently, lolz :p

[ZeroDarkStar]

How 'bout in mental maturity? ;)

[Graeme]

Hmm, speaking of old school people, that reminds me that I should convince Garth to get the hell over here. I'll tell him next time I see him at work.

[Schwitzer]

The others are:
^_^; or ^^; = Embarassment.

And thus concludes Emoticons 101 with Professor Tenshi.

[Ark-templarius]

Werewolf is only 12 and Carnie uses them a lot behind closed doors. (Chat Clients.)

[Adovid]

I understand completely!

I mean what is with this new abbreviation "heh". I mean what does it stand for?

We all know what "lol" stands for but no one ever talks about "heh".

Something humor something emotion or exaggeration?

Maybe it has something to do with thermo dynamics and energy?
Does anyone know?


I’m just messing with you, and using this opportunity to pull out my old joke ^^. Don't get angry please O.o;.

If you hang around asians or koreans you probably can notice that they use emoticons a lot more than most. I think koreans were the ones to use the "^^" to represent a kind of delightful happy face. I think they were also the ones to use the ";" to represent sweat. They use it a lot.

If you watch anime it helps because these emoticons are in a way slightly influenced from that. I learned the T.T from koreans back in 1999-2000 when I was hanging with a korean guild in hopes that that their starcraft skills would rubb off on me. I did have better micro afterwards but it didn't last :P.

I found out what O.o meant practically from the first time ever joined a chatroom.

[Duddits]

Heh is like an anime style thing. It's where they make the "heh" noise and something like a cloud comes out of their mouth. It's more like a 'DUH' or 'OH WELL' kinda thing.

[Graeme]

Yeah, I've noticed that a lot of people have moved away from the 'lol', because of the bad-wrap it has been given. A lot of people use 'heh' for slightly funny things, and use "haha" for very funny things. And then there's "Ahahaha", which means it's incredibly funny.

Lastly, there is "haahhahhah", or something along those lines. This occurs when someone is so hysterical, that they are incapable of correctly typing Hahaha, so they just give'er and hit a bunch of a's, and h's, hoping something logical will come out of it.

[Duddits]

[Ark-templarius]

I only once saw the definition of "pmsl". Pissing myself laughing.

[Graeme]

I was wondering about that one. I thought it was in some way related to pms, so I didn't want to ask, but I'm glad it's all cleared up now though.

[Mtank]

you didnt know what 0.o meanst?

0.o

[Duddits]

Yea, I've heard it was Pissing myself laughing.

ROTFLMFUUASDHWHEUBS = Rolling on the floor laughing myself flying upwards under a sand dragon's horn while he eats unicorn bull shit... I didn't make that one up... Nope.

Who needs to use those emoticons when you can role play a bit? *evil grin*

However there are times when the situation calls for an emoticon. Like :devil: and :_owned:.

SushiMan, Burkain, Indoflaven, Lao-tze, Havok23, Mr.carrier, those guys were old school to me.

What are these emoticons you speak of ; )

[Mordecai2k]

[Eros]

True meaning of O.o:

I have havok23's avatar save on my hard drive. I also remember waterseed, FalconSpirit, capt.morgan, (mr. carrier's older brother) futch, Link-604,along with quite a few others from back in the day when I joined Starcraft.org. Hell, I remember when Grunfeld joined as a new member at starcraft.org back in June of 2001. Man those were the good old days. :)
