Noun.
A group of keyboard characters (as :-)) that typically represents a facial expression or suggests an attitude or emotion and that is used especially in computerized communications (as e-mail)...Thanks Merriam-Webster.
Technically I posted this word before. But! It was a side thought in another words shout-out (I'll let you figure out which word) and seriously this word is too good to not have it's own blog. So way to go
EMOTICON! Bring on the emoticons!!!!

P.S. This word was introduced to Merriam-Webster in 1987. Gosh I love new words that are sooooooo specific, and awesome, of course.
P.P.S OMG! An emoticon specific keyboard! Seriously, whose that lazy!?!?!?!?!
