Ok, I've noticed lately that there's some crazy emoticons going on. Call me old school, but I have a hard enough time with :) and ;)
Someone PLEASE help me out and explain to me the following:
^_^
o_O
XD
Anyone else have some confusing ones you don't get or ones you can explain to us old fogies who have NO idea what they mean?

Was about to ask if you'd written your thesis on this topic, Andrea. Nice wikipediating!

I like to just make it up... XD I had interpreted as a cannibal smiling. (the X being the bones in his/her hair). o_O was I thought an admission of a badly botched breast augmentation :s and ^-^ i thought looked like a spider from front on. Sure none of them fit into conversation really well, but it's more fun I guarantee.

I also understood the ^_^ smiley family comes from asia and is closely tied to anime. I have cat friend who uses them often and even adds a tail. I just pretend I know what she's doing,because I really have no clue.
It took me 20 minutes to figure out the flower one, I think its @>--, the first time I saw it.
Yes, I'm old and proud of it!
*sticks to writing out flowery details instead of cutsie symbols*

-uses these a lot.-
Also, the "XD" is normally "xD".
>_>;
And I think the flower is like -----^---((@ or something.
