You are now a constant face (or hand?) at
the online chat rooms and the discussion
boards. Your posts are in every thread on your
favorite forums and you have so many friends on
your chat list you can hardly keep up with all
the PMs. But you have one problem,
nevertheless. Your posts and chats are dry
because the only emoticons you know are :)
(smile), :)) (laugh), etc.
But you keep seeing "hot cups of coffee", "fresh flowers"
"national flags" and even weird facial expressions in others’
posts.
As a result, you went thinking. But helpful ideas kept
hiding. "No need to worry, Craig is here." I used to be like
that when I started visiting the Yahoo and MSN chat rooms. I
guess you are in the same shoes. So, let’s see what the way out
is like.
First, you need to master the basic emoticons used for
emotions like *smile*, *laugh* *wink*, etc. Once you get used
to these, you are ready for bigger, more sophisticated and
funnier emoticons.
Secondly, what are the different classes of funny
emoticons available? Here are a few of them.
Holiday Emoticons: These are funny
emoticons that draw their source from holiday themes. They
include smileys that depict heads wearing vacation hats,
etc.
Love Emoticons: These are emoticons
expressing love.
Kiss Emoticons: You should know what these
ones are.
Laugh Emoticons: Want to laugh other than
just the "ha ha ha"? Be creative and use one of the many laugh
smileys available.
Mood Emoticons: Are you angry, green with
envy, etc?
There are other types of funny emoticons, but these ones are
some of the most common. Make yourself acquainted with them and
you will be on your way to enjoying your chat room
sessions.
So, where can you get very funny emoticons online?
There are a number of ways you can get those very funny
smileys.
The Search Engines: You can do a search for "very
funny emoticons", "funny emoticons"
and such search terms on Yahoo, Google, MSN or any of the top
search engines online and you will get results of sites that
offer funny emoticons, most times for free.
The Forums and Chat Rooms: The discussion boards and chat
rooms that you frequent are a prime source of emoticons that
are quite funny. What you should do is to watch out for those
members that often use those emoticons you like and ask them to
guide you to where they got them. A lot of times, if you have
established good rapport with them, they will let you in on the
source of their funny emoticons.
But don’t forget to use those emoticons and smileys during
your chat sessions and your forum posts. If you don’t, you are
bound to forget them.
