All these people singing the praises of emoticons over emojis, and not a single XD to be seen. I know you're old enough to remember the XD times! XD you cowards!
I xD all the time 😤
I like to throw it around sometimes, especially when I need to soften a statement or when someone says something so stupid I can't help but laugh XD
