A girl I have been talking to on FB for some time uses this smiley a lot:

-.-

I haven't dared to ask her what it means out of fear of being called a noob etc..

What does it mean?

I always took that smiley as negative, narrowing of the eyes. Probably wrong though.

I also have mixed feelings about the "Wink" :wink: and "Neutral" :| smilies, as well.

According to wikipedia it's an Eastern version of "shame".

I always interpreted it to mean annoyance; akin to rolling the eyes.
