Accronyms

they annoy me, cos when talking to someone using ones that i havnt already learned i cant understand a word they are saying. so i thought, what if someone made a list of accronyms with their meanings? anyone want to give it a go?

<chuckle> the speaker chuckles
<frown> the speaker is frowning

<smile> the one writing the message is smiling
<smirk> the one writing the message is smirking
<wink> the one writing the message is winking
