Someone explain me this

[EdoI]

After I somehow finnally understood that <3 is not an icecream, but a heart instead (although it's still very icecream to me: <3), now I'm wondering what does :3 mean. Stuff that I can relate with :3 would be double-pierced nose, hog nose person smiley, rabbit ears, fist, etc. but none of those seem logical to me. Enlight me.

[Atilla]

Also words.

[EdoI]

I've never seen someone smiling like that...
Okay, this can be locked now.

<3 looks nothing like an ice cream cone. When have you ever seen two scoops of ice cream seated tandem atop a single cone? Never, that's when. An ice cream cone would be like this: <O.

It's not symmetric, but it's physicly possible...

Or possibly C>...
Even <Ↄ.

I've done that before, and yes, it's possible.
Anyway, this seems a lot better:

2 scones on top of 1 big scone. Sweet.

In the in crowd, we use <3 for heart, <D for ice cream, and <# for flowers. '<3 <D <#' is a fantastic way to welcome someone.

:3 means "hehe i just said something horrible"

Try giving that combination to your loved one on an anniversary. Flowers, ice cream, and a heart.

I've always been partial to giving my loved one <#, <D and a <3-on.

Emoticon puns! You've just taken things to the next level, my friend.

Anyway can anyone really smile like that? Is there a better word for this expression rather than cat smile?

[Atilla]

Anyway can anyone really smile like that?

Without a lip deformity? I wouldn't think so.

[EdoI]

Anyway can anyone really smile like that?

No, and the smiley doesn't even look like a smiling person. I mean, come on does :3 remind you on someone smiling?
Edit: coloring makes those look better: <D <# <3

[a happy song]

I've always thought of it as a confused walrus who's lost his tusks.

Yesterday I tried explaining to a friend what <3 meant without saying IT'S A HEART, GODDAMIT. She just didn't get it...

[t̷s͢uk̕a͡t͜ư]

well a prime number is a number which that can be divised by itself and one and one is one so its divisable by one and one so i think its a prime number

On a more relevant note...

I know you really like it, but I've never understood what this is. My best guess is a dancing Arabic man whose turban has a telephone pole coming out the top.

Scroll down to the chart, the explanation is there. Case closed, everybody go home, get a sandwich, whatever. Party's over.

[Rhekatou]

Haha, very funny. No, seriously; i'll make a sig of it:

Suki likes apples!


Great, isn't it?

[squibbles]

Am I the only person who saw "<3" as a penis for a good period of time?

Because Suki didn't resolve this in the second post or anything. :P

Interestingly though, that wiki page has :3 under love. O_o
