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?

I think it is most applicable in the

"Your girlfriend broke up with you? Sorry..."

"Yeah, but the breakup sex was amazing ;("

I'm pretty sure it's for when you need to put on a front and look like you're sad but really you're happy inside.

Example: You are hanging out with your friends watching a movie and a fat chick is naked on the screen. You secretly really dig fat chicks and love it but have to frown or your friends will make fun of you.
kashlen
kashlen on Sep 23 '09 at 1:41pm
LOL...

that was possibly the greatest example ever.

kashlen
kashlen on Sep 23 '09 at 1:47pm
hehe

I usually use it when I'm pretending to be sad, but I'm not really sad.

So if I do something mean on purpose to someone, and they say I hurt their feelings, I would say I'm sorry ;( because I'm not at all sorry...

Has anyone actually pulled off the real world frowny wink? It is almost physically impossible. Someone should take a video of themselves doing it, because I believe I have only ever seen ONE in the wild.

I think I did it on bacontaco once, and my face seized up for hours.
