    The T's are the eyes closed with tears running. The _ is the mouth.

    I wouldn't say :pac: is sarcasm as such. I would use it to mean anything that is said a little tongue in cheek, or where humour is implied.

    As mentioned :pac: means you're taking the piss.

    However, when quoting a post from someone you're arguing with and you only respond with :pac: it's means "You're so hilariously stupid I'm not going to bother responding, lol".

    If you respond with just :pac: while quoting someone you're not arguing with it's more of a "I see what you did there! lol" message.


    In fact you could probably simply say that :pac: is the trollface of Boards.

    Giving out?


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,294 ✭✭✭YellowFeather


    I thought :pac: was for making a joke. Whereas, :D was isn't this hilarious or isn't life great. :) I use for just happy or to be friendly.

    In my own way, I absolutely detest smilies :mad: :pac:, and I resisted using them for as long as I could. But, when communicating in relatively short messages, especially with people you don't know that well, sometimes they're the handiest way to convey tone.
