What does :o mean to you? It doesn’t say embarassment to me. It looks more like someone yawning. Maybe we need a new smiley that actually looks embarassed rather than bored.
To me it has always looked like a little choirboy.
Which I guess could be a source of embarrassment.
Well, if you use
:o :eek: :o :eek: :o :eek:
it looks like you’re blowing up a balloon. Or something. Or…
:o :eek: :smack:
looks like Mr. Smiley just hocked a loogey into the yellow guy’s eye.
*:: getting the giggles:: *
to me it looks like someone about to give fellatio
Yeah, it never looked like “embarrassed” to me, either. More like “fast asleep.” For one thing, shouldn’t “embarrassed” be blush-pink and not orange?
I mean, who closes their eyes and opens their mouth into an “o” when they’re embarrassed?
I always thought :eek: and :o should trade names. The first looks embarassed, the second looks like “EEK”
I like :eek: for EEK, but agree that :o doesn’t look embarrassed at all. It looks like a yawn – like 
when he’s just waking up, or something.
How about this guy?
Feverish…or about to be sick? It’s hard to do embarrassed. 
I’m adding him to evil smiley and soon will have enough smiley men to take over the boards!
Mwahahahahaha! : evil smiley : <–that’s where he’d go. 
in anime, embarrassment is shown with a huge sweat drop on the side of the head. like so ^_^’
No, you need two drops, like this: (^_^;)
