Usually you can right click and find out exactly what they mean (if it isn't self evident) but this one you can't. Is it supposed to mean you are looking grim? You are neutral? Mildly pissed off?

I know it's a stupid question, but it drives me nuts.

Thank you! :D
 
:lol: I :heart: this smilie!! :| It's an all-purpose smilie!

It can indicate: "whatever" "huh?" "oh please" "no expression" "no comment" "annoyance"

It's one of our best smilies, I believe! :| :| :|
 
to me it almost shows a kind of shock or disdain. :| I love it. I also love that it is green.
 
I think every meaning mentioned above is applicable. It also means, "I'm saying this with a straight face." It connotes matter-of-factly-ness.

:| may be the best smilie I've ever seen, but :ohmy: and :huh: are almost as great.

Oh, and the green is a key part of what makes the :| smilie work so well.

lol at the fruit comment, dizzy :) wow, i haven't posted in ls in ages...

it's my favorite smile. Along with :crack: and :eeklaugh: of course...
 
:| is great because it's so versatile- it can be sadness, disappointment, disapproval, neutrality, etc.

I think that :yuck: is one of the best because of its colors.

i have a question what does "meh" mean? :|




i have used it many a time in conversation on the phone with you. it's a vocal thing. i'll call you and use it. else it's inexplicable.

when you love yourself, that means you love me
