Emoticons Know Their Shit

As we all know, emoticons are usually used as a way to convey a simple smile, wink, frown, thumbs up, expression of surprise or of anger.  But if you take a deeper look into the world of emoticons, they make some very insightful observations about the range of human emotions.  Emoticons for the most part sum up most of the human emotions and expressions.  But more importantly, they show us that there are some emotional combinations that are incomprehensible to humans.  For example, we have for sadness we have :( and for happiness we have :) . Then for sneakiness we have ;) which is a winking smile.  But notice there is no sad winking face ;(  because lets be honest, who would wink when they're sad? No one. Also, There are shocked faces :o and thumbs up b(^_^)d    (I know its a stretch, just go with it).   But you could scour the internet and never find an emoticon for a shocked thumbs up.  Because, it just doesn't happen in real life.  No one ever reacts to being shocked by giving 2 thumbs up.  It just goes to show, you can learn a lot from little yellow faces that reiterate a point you just made with text.
