I always felt like the smiling emoticon looks a little cheeky when it has a nose: :-)

So, sometimes I use it precisely for that purpose, like when I'm making a cheeky joke, but yeah, usually I'm using :) and similar instead.

Usually not :) But I prefer to use to use emojis anyway 🤷 🫴 It just feels like progress, no more ascii workarounds ⬆️

Ain't nobody got time for that

I feel like emoticon use tells your age. Old people use noses. Regular people use no noses. Young people use emoji 🤮

I read years and years ago that a study was done, that when confronted with emoji (then called emoticons), a viewer felt a stronger attachment to those with a nose :-/ than one without a nose :/

Since then, always noses for me! :-#

Is that even an option? I do not currently, but it seems like a good n thing to enable on your spouse's phone...

My classmate once sent me this: ÷)

Honestly took me a while for me to undestand what it is
