Skype Emoticons

Skype emoticons

Don’t think that this program offers to its users only the possibility to talk on the microphone and to use their webcams, because Skype is also used as a chat program. Of course, Skype doesn’t have the reputation of MSN or of Yahoo Messenger, but in the last few years it started to gain more and more users.
When it comes about Skype emoticons there are many emoticons that have the same shortcuts like the ones that are used on Yahoo Messenger or MSN. I will tell you what emoticons do have in common those 3 chat programs.

The first one is represented by the smile emoticon. You can use this emoticon to show your interlocutors that you are in a good mood or you can use it after they just told you a joke. I’m sure that you already know that this is the oldest emoticon and that it is used in many situations. Its shortcut is represented by :) and you can insert one of the famous smileys in your Skype conversations by typing its shortcut in the chat box.

The second common emoticon is represented by the sad emoticon. People use this emoticon very often when they are upset or when they want to show their friends that they had a bad day. The shortcut for this emoticon is :( and if you want to introduce it in your Skype conversations you just have to type its shortcut in the chat box.

Now that you know what Skype has in common with other chat programs, it’s time for you to know how you can introduce in your conversations Skype hidden emoticons. With a simple search on the Internet you will find all the secret emoticons that you can use to impress your friends or to express your feelings better. Next I will present you some Skype emoticons that can be found in the program.

If you just came back from a great party and you want to tell your interlocutor that you had a great time, you can use the drunk emoticon. Your friend will surely understand that you had fun. You can introduce this emoticon in your conversations by typing (drunk) in the chat box.

If you want to tell your friends that you are smoking or that you want to smoke, you can introduce the smoke smiley in your conversations by typing (smoke) in the chat box.

If you are throwing a pool-party and you want to invite all your friends from Skype, you can send them a message with the text of the invitation and of course with the poolparty hidden emoticon. If you want to introduce this secret emoticon in your text message, you just have to type (poolparty) into the chat box.

All ages enjoy using the chat symbols. I was really surprised to find out that my friend who is around 65 years old knows how to use keyboard symbols on her Mac. Not only did she know how to use them but she knew all of them. I’ve also seen people as young as 5 or 6 use these symbols each day.

Keyboard symbols

I think the main reason why people enjoy using the chat keyboard symbols is because they not very hard nor complicated to use whatsoever. All that you need to do is copy the symbols into your messenger and they show up. You can do this by hovering your mouse over the symbol, left click it, highlight the symbol, right click for copy and put it in your messenger. Listed below is the top 5 chat symbols that you can use in your messenger.

Can’t Stop Talking

Do you have a lot to say and just don’t know when you can stop talking because you are that excited about it? Does your friend just seem to go on and on about a subject you don’t want to hear? If so then you might want to warn your other friends that they just can’t stop talking about it.
