Emoticon explanations

Too many applications provide their own emoticons. This is not acceptable. When I type the following characters this is what I mean.

  • :) – This made me smile.
  • :D – This really made me smile. My mouth is open. Please don't throw things at it.
  • :E – E is one better than D, therefore I just smiled so hard that my face broke.
  • ;) – I said something cheeky and hilarious.
  • :P – I said something that probably wasn't serious.
  • ;P – I said something cheeky and hilarious that probably wasn't serious.
  • :( – I am sad. Why would you say that? You monster.
  • :'( – Now I am crying. Look at what you've done.
  • :O – I am shocked.
  • D: – I am dismayed.
  • o/ – High five, or hand in the air.
  • \o – Responding to high five.
  • o> – A salute.
  • \o/ – Both hands in the air. Either celebrating, fleeing from zombies, or this is a stick up.
  • <o> – Hands on head. Either doing the dance to "Tragedy" or despairing. Or being arrested.
