Hi all in mylot, most of us see 25 emoticons when we click mylot code. Meaning and use of 1 to 5,7 to 11,13,21,23 are quite clear to me. I use them too.
But for the rest I am not quite sure of the meaning and do not dare to use. It is to avoid hurting anyone from wrong use of them. I think it would be better if I know their meaning and can use them to make my post more meaningful by speaking less.
Can anyone help? Please extend your helping hands.

It seems that, in any post, we are not allowed to use more than three emoticons. Personally, I like to use them sparingly, if at all. I do use the ones in Yahoo Messenger quite a lot when I am chatting ... Yahoo has a particularly nice 'hug' 
The ones you see here are mostly described by the word between the [ em ] ... [ /em ] tags and should be fairly obvious from what they do.
I have to say that there are many which I never use 
and some which I wish they had!
Of the ones that you seem to be unclear about:
w00t is the kind of mad sound one makes when one is laughing and excited about something.
wub is kind of baby talk for 'love' (hence the hearts in the eyes)
rasp is a sort of sardonic laugh
glare is one of 'those' looks that you give people when you don't agree with them
drool is ... well, something like wub, I suppose.
wink ... surely you know what a wink is!
rolleyes ... OMG! You must be getting tired, I don't believe you're THAT dumb!
blink Sometimes just blinking at someone (with a smile, of course) will remind them of lots of things that should not be said (and, perhaps, they just did!)
cool is what you are when you say just enough to be meaningful and no more
whistle may be used when someone is going on and on about something and you have already got the point
doh is one of Homer Simpson's favourite expressions ... usually means 'what a fool I am'
ninja well, remember the Ninja Turtles? Something like 'cool' but slightly illicit.
