I read wikipedia, duh….thanks @Andreas~ (I guess the squiggly represents “tongue in cheek, eh?) I am groggy, and frustrated and I HATE that phrase!
@KhiaKarma You’re welcome.
From the article: ” :P may be used to signal jocularity and has been called the tongue-in-cheek symbol. The expression may be denoted more graphically with forms such as :-? or :-J ”
~ is just a tilde symbol. But then again…
I don’t know why but I hate that expression. Thought you oughtta know that. lol
