The elusive frowny wink ;(

The most complex of the emoticons, the frowny wink is very complicated and conflicted. Just look at it:

;(

It is obviously sad, but it is sad with an inclusive wink... like it knows something that I don't. Thus the wink, saying "i wish you were in on this secret but I just can't tell you." And apparently that secret is sad. I believe the frowny wink has the potential to be used in creepy ways, I am just not sure I know how to yet.

What is a proper use, in context, for the frowny wink as an emoticon?

"You look really beautiful today. Also, I'm sorry to hear about your father. I'll see you at the cemetery?"

I have never seen a frowny wink before!!! It is quite conflicted haha!

I took a dump in my roommates bathroom then walked carefully to my bathroom to finish up the biz....later that day my roommate lifted the seat to find a surprise.... that calls for a ;( Does that work?

Maybe it's a little tear and not a wink? "You're hot... oh you're breaking up with me? Well, you still look hot."

Ask yourself this question when using the frowny wink: Is Curlee sitting in my lap right now?

tracerbullet on Mar 19 '09 at 11:55am

maybe it's actually a black eye. "i only hit you because i love you" sort of thing.

No, it is a wink for sure. Tears are like this:

:'-(

And that is according to wikipedia

davidfromdallas on Mar 19 '09 at 11:58am

it's totally gotta be follin you with it's sadness. like 'GET IT?!? I'm SAD but not?!?"

umm wut?

scottv on Mar 19 '09 at 11:59am

upso, is that a frowny wink with a protruding tongue smile? astounding, I never knew the envelope could be pushed that far.

It looks like king hippo from mike tyson's punch out.

tracerbullet on Mar 19 '09 at 12:00pm

"i don't wanna date with you anymore, but i'd love it if we could still fool around whenever it's convenient with me ;( "

PuppetMeat on Mar 19 '09 at 12:00pm

I think it's a masochistic wink. Kinda like "hey, stop that...wait, no, hit me with that tire iron" sort of deal.

;(

spacesick 2 on Mar 19 '09 at 12:01pm

he's frowny winking because he just got a 0$

scottv on Mar 19 '09 at 12:01pm

"Here have this piece of pie, I have my thumb in it. ;("

sonmi on Mar 19 '09 at 12:01pm

oh man i hate king hippo

alexmdc on Mar 19 '09 at 12:02pm

"I got your pregnant while you were sleeping"

carlie-o on Mar 19 '09 at 12:03pm

I'm with tracerbullet. Scott we've been over this! The frowny wink is most definitely a just-punched-in-the-eye face.

carlie-o on Mar 19 '09 at 12:05pm

In conversation, maybe an emoticon for "touché"

TimScribble on Mar 19 '09 at 12:06pm

I think it's the just ate something sour face. Makes you sad and your eye wink.

opifan64 on Mar 19 '09 at 12:07pm

Business is slowing down a lot and I have to pretend to be sad so the boss doesn't know that i'm actually thrilled ;(

'Help, I'm having a stroke.' ;(

scottv on Mar 19 '09 at 12:08pm

Sorry sonmi

noodlezoop on Mar 19 '09 at 12:09pm

totally punched in the eye. Brian called it. look, it's all gross and swollen and everything.

either that or "I was putting my mascara on and I poked myself with the brush, goddamn that smarts ; ("

...although...that might be more like ;'(

jpiatt on Mar 19 '09 at 12:10pm

couldn't it be used for something like "I'm joking", but at the same time it's still sad. examples:

I would run that marathon with you this weekend, if it weren't for my AIDs! ;(

or

I was going to visit you in NYC this weekend, but I'm affraid of slamming into a building. ;(

scottv on Mar 19 '09 at 12:13pm

"I ate an entire bag of baby carrots. ;("

Maltzmania on Mar 19 '09 at 12:15pm

"I just watched every episode of Stargate SG-1 until I vomited ;( "

scottv on Mar 19 '09 at 12:20pm

"I used the consonant Y where the vowel Y was necessary. ;("

"I just slipped some sedatives into the neighbor's dog's food just so it would stop barking" ;(

scottv on Mar 19 '09 at 12:28pm

"I just ate my neighbor's dog food and now I feel sleepy ;("

outline on Mar 19 '09 at 12:29pm

touché, my good man. touché.

scottv on Mar 19 '09 at 12:37pm

I can't think of a creepy instance yet.

Maybe "Have you seen my new mustache? It looks best in the lighting of this windowless van. ;("

roadkill3d on Mar 19 '09 at 12:37pm

"It was very humid and I just swam into a pool of vomit. ;("

BaronVonMonkey on Mar 19 '09 at 12:38pm

It's also far more difficult to carry out a frowny wink IRL than a smiley wink. Try it.

The frowny wink is when two friends are being tortured and one friend has a plan. It is taught in the military to only the most covert operatives, so I am kinda amazed you know of its existence.
