what does this mean?

[CliffandJoann]

someone posted on one of my pond videos the following...

are the koi D faced? (insert a : before the D -- if I do it I get a smily face)

what does this mean? is it a snarky remark?

Don't take it offensive. Sounds like something I would do, put the emblem for the smiley face although I would use the following key strokes: : - ) which also make a smiley face. However, lots of people use the : and D, to give the look of a large open mouthed smile! Sounds like someone was asking if your koi were smiling widely!

oops... i didnt realize i posted the smiley face.... i was trying to see what it looked like when i did the : follwed by the D.

I guess it was a happy face...I thought happy faces were : and then )
I just wasn't sure if it was a snarky remark.

Some people are starting to use more symbols like that when using smart phones as well. I know with our phones when you text using some smiley's like that you get cute litle faces directly on the text. If the person that sent it sends text on a regular basis it may be a common smiley on their phone and not be a "SNARKY" remark at all, just a friendly big smiley.

i'm suprized they dont make computer keyboards with smilies, hearts, and the like.....you see them everywhere on the social networks, forums etc... if you weere to design / make one i'd bet youd make a killing.

Wow did not realize there were so many of these things out there.........too complicated to remember all that stuff. I'll just stick w/ the actual pictures of them Hey that is weird cuz I tried too like 99 did and post a : and a D and it came out as the little smiling photo dude. Wonder if I put a space and then the D what will happen............................. : D Ha ha I fooled it!
