I never figured out what those smileys are supposed to mean?

Namely, these two:  

Any suggestions?

If you hover your cursor over them, the first one says "foot in mouth," and the second one says "money mouth."

Yeah, that part is obvious ...

For example, what would be a good sentence to end with either of them?

I sometimes use the foot in mouth one after I've been caught out saying something silly

What do those even mean anyways?

I just won the lottery! 

Ka-Ching! 

I didn't mean it like that.  

Oops. 

I use the smiley 1 sometime,s.

The most versatile of the whole bunch! 

This is one funny topic. You sure pick the most obscure things. ;D 

I expressed my views on this important topic (quite beautifully, I think) in the past forum:

     "What do you think this emoticon means?"

In it, I complained vociferously about the "frown" one having No Eyebrows, when eyebrows slanted Downward toward the nose is Obviously the Essence of a "frowny" face!

I also posted the following:

The mouth "sealed" emoticon  seems to me redundant:  The eyebrows go up signaling distress and the seal says "I said the wrong thing."  Then the blushing "embarrassed" one  says the same thing!

As you can see, I feel Strongly about Emoticons!  So Where's the one for "determined?"  Not "Yelling!"  -- Just "Determined!"  

And who ever uses that dumb "money mouth" one?   What a waste!  

And what does "tongue out" mean?   I sometimes use it for "I'm being silly" but it could be received as "I'm sticking my tongue out at You!"

I'm getting all worked up about this -- but I'm not ing ... Why would you want one labeled "yell" anyway?  Why not label it "frustrated" or even "irritated?"  Now I need a new one for "My head's about to explode!"

....... don't worry ... I've calmed down now ... I'm cool.....  ....

The smileys are the internet footprint of the 'clowns' who realised that their traditional paths via horror-film were being eroded. 

 These three are pretty useful. 

Wonderful comments, thank you.  (another smiley I just very rarely use)

Oh, I just noticed that I'd Omitted "Foot in Mouth" in my old post!

         "Foot in Mouth" = Mouth "Sealed" = "Embarrassed" !!!

In summary, we're given Nine Emoticons, with the following problems:  

      One is badly drawn (frown).

      Three express the Exact same feeling: "Sorry, my Bad." 

      One is badly labeled: "Yell" instead of "frustrated, annoyed, determined, infuriated, angry, disgruntled, irritated," etc. (more expressive and useful words, every one)

      One is easily misinterpreted:  "Tongue out," which might be useful if labeled "goofy" or "being silly."

Oh, Great!  Now I'm all worked up again!  I feel so -- so -- "yell" !!!  ()

I think this one is like a "foot in mouth face" when you are chewing your nails and maybe that is like scared

This i see money eyes and money out of his mouth, so i think this is a money face when your happy

I'm pretty sure it's meant to mean "I said the wrong thing," since the phrase "He sure put his foot in his mouth That time!" is a description of a social faux pas.  Of course, you make a good point -- if people aren't All sure what an emoticon means, it leads to miscommunications, potentially followed by rancor, escalation or faux insults, and ... well ...it may end up with the feeling of ... let's see, what's a good word? --Oh, sure:  "yell!"

There's also plenty of untapped sarcasm in the deliberate misuse of those smileys, like: "I hope you'll jump off a cliff!" 

Maybe it fell asleep in a frat house and someone shaved them off?

Well, now, I must say, Dr. Spudnik, that this remark struck me as quite silly and tangential.  It's the kind of remark which I myself strive earnestly to eschew, since, given my advanced age and my personal sense of pride, I value whatever image I may have established on this site as a dignified, thoughtful intellectual who takes "chess forum topics" seriously.

That said, the frat boy image was amusing, and it did make me smile. Granted, I did snort just a tiny bit of milk out of my nose when I read it.

 My response here is simply designed to remind you of the value of self-restraint in these situations.  Whimsy may be acceptable in small doses, of course.  But serious, relevant, "on point" commentary is always the preferable alternative for those whose goal it is to get ahead in this world.  

In closing, I do hope you're able to take this advice in the spirit in which it was intended.... Sincerely, "A Friend," MIL

P.S. lol -- -- -- --!
