I see these from time to time on posts usually when someone is frustrated or upset, but the little face belies that.

It looks like a little sleeping face. Is he snoring?? If so does that mean the post is boring??

Maybe the little face is puckering up, thats kind of what it looks like too!!! So does it mean that the user of that smile is enamored of another user?

Or is the smile about to haughch a loogie?

Sorry for the stupid post but I just want to use this smile in the proper context.

 

Technically it's a blushing smilie denoting embarassment, but I agree it's a little vague. So feel free to be creative with it!

 

looks to me like a arrogant smilie making a wise-*** comment

 

Oh it's the "snobby face"!!!

heheh... It looks like an expression someone would make when another person corrects them or makes justified criticism. They then respond in an unfazed manner yet their blush marks reveal that they know they're wrong.

It's also a bigheaded way of expressing an opinion without caring what others have to say in return.

"I think Saturns are the best cars in the world and that all i have to say about THAT!"

or most common....

"Yeah i knew that! I was simply testing you"

oh man...i just realized I gave these little face thingies too much thought.

 

I always thought it was the "ahem" face, used whenever the situation is like "Oh, well... whatever..."
