There. I've said it. Strangely, I feel relieved.

*points and laughs*

Ok, actually I had to ask about this too. It's the way your eyes/brows look when you're confused about something - "what the heck?"

Pssst, there's a confessional thread for admitting stuff. And O_o is just a look people give sometimes. mack did a good impression of it once. I don't remember where she posted it...

Kidding, really! [Smile]

Imagine that the Os are someone's eyes. It's a cartoonish gesture of surprise, or shock.

*Thinks about thanking Brian for asking, decides against admitting her own lame lack of knowledge*

Variation: O.o or O.O

These mean that the person's nose is not huge and located in a left-right manner.

I think it's a very anime-ish gesture. I don't blame anyone for not recognizing it immediately.

I'd never thought of it as anime-ish before. Kinda like this? ^_^

You see that as a nose Teshi? I've always seen it as a mouth.

Yeah, bev, like that! [Smile]

It may just be my own perception, though.

Erm... yeah, I did see it as a nose...

But now I see that perhaps it's not. Well, most people's mouths aren't located right between their eyes, so perhaps that's why...

O_o

I see it! Breakthrough!

I prefer O.o though.
