I do this sometimes.

I tried clicking on them and of course the regular abbreviations show up but for example what does (:P = colon mean? On other sites you can hover over the smilie and it will say something like laugh, embarassed, confused, sad, etc., but these smilies won't talk to me LOL and it is so frustrating. I know some seem very obvious but with several of them almost the same smilie I am curious as to what the difference is and there are a few that I just can't seem to understand for whatever reason. :cry:
