:-)   Your basic smiley.  This smiley is used to inflect a sarcastic 
      or joking statement.
;-)   Winky smiley.  User just made a flirtatious and/or sarcastic 
      remark.  More of a "don't hit me for what I just said" smiley.
:-(   Frowning smiley.  User did not like that last statement or is 
      upset or depressed about something.
:-I   Indifferent smiley.  Better than a Frowning smiley but not quite 
      as good as a happy smiley.
:->   User just made a really biting sarcastic remark.  Worse than a :-).
):->  User just made a really devilish remark.
);->  Winky and devil combined.  A very lewd remark was just made.

Those are the basic ones.  The following pages contain somewhat less 
common ones
