First important question of the new year:

[Empoof]

It's most definitely a nose. -.-

how is this even a debate

 

[Darkamber8828]

-.- is nose

-_- is mouth

what is wrong with you people

 

[Raikage]

It is obviously a mouth

I have never met anybody who thought it was a nose until this day

 

[Snorlaxe]

okay imma spell it out for everyone


the . in -.- is a mouth and JUST a mouth

anyone who thinks it's a nose is clearly kidding themselves

end of story

 

[Bummer]

 

[Taylor]

^_~ are not eyes and this smiley was an attempt to emoticon the peoples' eyebrow.

 

[Stagnant]

It's the nose. The Eyes are the expression and the nose just accentuates the "face"

 

[Solace]

definitely the mouth...

if you add the underline like vader said it'd be a nose, but otherwise.....

aldaron -.-

 

[askaninjask]

It's a guy saying "oof" while slitting his eyes. If you perceive it any other way, you're not understanding the actual emotion behind the emoticon....

 

[az]

nose imo!!

if it were a mouth it would be open andlike all surprised and shit and cutesy

this emote is for badasses that have had enough and have lowered their head so that their mouth isn't even in the chat any more

-.- = Did that just F'n happen? or I am disappoint

 

[Accent]

This discussion highlights the inherent asymmetry that plagues any kind of text-based interaction (which is of course the exact same phenomena that one can experience in a face-to-face conversation, exponentialized by the distance and objectivity that text imposes). That we disagree on a symbol that is intended to explicit an emotion and make it clear to both parties what the other is feeling, is an ironically frustrating proof that we will never be able to fully understand each other. How can you tell what I want to express if your interpretation of a given glyph is so widely opposed to mine?

In conclusion, in -.- the . is the bird's whole body (the - are the wings)

 

[Nastyjungle]

what kind of emoticon doesnt have a mouth v_v

 

[Stagnant]

^ ^

 

[Agammemnon]

It definetely is an angry duckface.
you got to be insane in the coconut to think it's a nose...

 

[WaterBomb]

I just voted nose to troll

 

[Snkz]

Seriously its a nose, how is everyone so wrong. All dots are noses in any emote why would it change for this one

QFT:

I want everybody that voted nose to find me an emoticon without a mouth.

Do you all not watch anime / read manga? -.- is that face where the character exhales a little puff of smoke shaped like a mushroom or some shit and they've got blue paint running down their forehead for some reason. though I guess maybe it should be more like --.

It's an upright (Asian-style) emote. It doesn't matter what it actually looks like, just that it's a close approximation to an anime/manga face in a certain expression.

[Venom]

I always though -_- and -_____- and -.- were the same thing

 

[fairytale]

It never even occured to me that that could be a mouth. 0_o Don't see it at all...

 

[Chill Murray]

[ButteredToast]

People are stupid I supose.

 

[v]
