smiley
- interjection Amusement, expressed in conversation by ASCII
characters meant to look like faces. The most
common are ':-)' (meaning 'smile') and ';-)' (meaning 'wink'), which
also come in the noseless versions ':)' and ';)'. There are thousands
more... They're not as popular in MUD as in
mundane chat programs, principally because in MUD you
can type 'smile' and the game will cause your
persona to smile; smilies are therefore
usually reserved for private or shouted communication. See
hehehe.
