Do you keep abreast of online jargon? I find it very convenient using the mylot code -emoticons - with my posts, but I am not sure exactly what some of them mean - perhaps I should pay more attention when they are used in the posts of others.
Here are three of them:
whatever does 'woot' mean?
"wub'
'rasp'
The emoticon I use the most would be -
. Do you find them helpful?

@Kandae11 I remember a user wrote a discussion only a few weeks after I joined. She was against the rasp because she thought it is offensive and asked to remove it. Well, you can imagine how many were against saying she was too sensitive, that this is only "a joke" and blah and blah. In my opinion it's offensive.

Woot I use when I'm excited about something. Wub is when I love something someone said. And rasp is when your sticking your tongue out at someone, being silly like ha ha-I was right.

@Kandae11 It's funny that some of us use them differently, even if just a slight difference.

@LovingMyBabies I think I use a bit too much - and not always at the right point.

I only use the first one now and then when there is little chance of being misunderstood, especially if I am chatting to a male. I avoid the second one too, it looks too ambiguous to me. (Anything ambiguous is sort of dangerous according to my dictionary!

I really don't use any but simple ones and rasp is rather fresh and rude so I don't ever use that one. But I have been known to give a hug to two. lol
