First important question of the new year:

[Manbaby]

its a nose. the mouth is implied

 

[Snunch]

who even uses -.- it is outclassed by -_- (which clearly has two eyes and a mouth)

 

[Justin8649]

the mouth cannot be implied! what kind of emoticon is it without a mouth?? is the guy smiling? frowning? growling? laughing? without a mouth it provides very minimal and confusing emotion!

 

[Birkal]

EXHIBIT A

 

[Justin8649]

hey guys what emotion am i expressing? :-

 

[Justin8649]

the mouth is implied

 

[RitterCat]

But emotion can so often be seen in the eyes! The narrowed eyes in said emoticon lead to three possibilities:
1: He is glaring
2: He is closing his eyes for whatever reason
3: He is asian
From the first two the mouth could be -.- and two emotions still be interpreted (angry glare/ dropping head in contemptuous depair) So the mouth doesn't necessarily mean you can immediately tell the emotion.
Therefore for the sake of representing emotion it could be either. However the size implies a nose

so yeah nose

hey guys what emotion am i expressing? :-

how can you tell expression from a penis?

 

[Steelicks]

WHY ARE YOU RAGING INTO ME???????

 

[Wikey]

y/

n?

Alternatively the . is the horrendous pimple I just noticed...

 

[Justin8649]

how can you tell expression from a penis?

hard penis expresses desire to fuck
soft penis expresses ugly bitch in my vision

 

[RitterCat]

hard penis expresses desire to fuck
soft penis expresses ugly bitch in my vision

what about soft penis when there is not ugly bitch in sight?
or are you constantly erect when not confronted by ugliness?!?

 

[Wikey]

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 --.

 

[jrrrrrrr]

I always thought it was kirby -.-

i mean seriously who draws a face without a mouth?

 

[RitterCat]

 

[His Eminence Lord Poppington II]

n.n

 

[Wikey]

n.n? is that a person with two noses a mouth and no eyes? who makes an emoticon with no eyes?

 

[Brammi]

It's a nose. -_- is the one with the mouth.

 

[Manbaby]

next you guys are gonna tell me that the shine on diglett's nose is actually a tooth

 

[Eraddd]

Nose.

You guys are all retarded. I don't even.

 

[Firestorm]

65% itt are mouth breathers

 

[Minwu]

nose obviously! ^.^

 

[OptimusCrime]

Gonna have to choose mouth. I had always thought it was an anime face-pose kinda thing, but I guess the inventor is the only one that truly knows.

IF THERE IS ONE

 

[Bummer]

Most smilies show the eys and mouth, so thus I naturally consider the . to be mouth as well. Not that it actually matters because the closed eyes is the only information I need to gather.

Unless those are ears. Are those ears? They might be ears.

 

[Manafii101]

MOUTH --.--

think about it, you can cut off a nose but you can't realistically remove a mouth

therefore, it has to be a mouth or an alien

 

[Matthew]

It's a nose you swine!!
