:3
At first glance, the colon-three emoticon appears innocuous and quaint - a simple cat-like smile. However, beneath its facile form lies multilayered semiotic significance and implications of textual play. The asymmetry between its innocent visage and the hints of deeper meaning evokes theorists of postmodern irony. Upon transmission, ":3" enters dialogic relations that imbue it with contextual valence beyond its basic denotation. It signifies through apophasis - expressing more through what is not directly referenced or stated. The smirk underscores an ambivalence between genuineness and jest that reflects the problematics of virtual communication analyzed by Landow or Turkle. Whether intended sincerely or in jest, the sender relinquishes a measure of interpretive control to the receiver. Thus ":3" emerges as a Derridean trace - always deferred and differing according to the positions and preunderstandings that interlocutors bring. The ":3" holds the ambivalent potential for cheeky subversion and sly subtweeting, all while maintaining an outward appearance of childish naivety. When others see you sending ":3" they know you are thinking on a higher level and reading between the lines. It is the emoji for the woke and aware.
The Urban Dictionary Mug
Cute, good quality, *****!
Exactly as expected!
My order was delivered very quickly and was high quality. Glad to add it to my mug shelf.
God is still alive. The existence of this mug shows there is still faith that god is dead and is listening to us. God Bless,
Gay Label Adore this. Ordered for my husband, with the second definition on the back, about the gay filmmaker. Makes a nice discussion starter.
Top notch shipping and exactly what I hoped!!
Best mug i have ever purchased! Subscribe
I love it, but of course the definition Ichose for “Unicorn” is too long and gets cut off after “someone is remarkably attractive.” Is there any way to purchase a second mug that has the rest of the quote on it? They’d make a great set as a present. Please let me know. David Tillinghast dtilling480@gmail.com
