Thank you for your help. I have known what smiley is intended to mean

My faux naive comment was meant to illustrate why I refuse to use this
childish notation to warn ALL the readers that I'm speaking tongue

perverted sense of humour doesn't reach those whom it fails to reach.

Well, I ceased using it for a while, until Trevor Wilson took
something written in jest seriously and got momentarily upset. Since
I don't wish to upset people, I sometimes resort to my friend Smiley.

Oh, here he is now..... :-)
