Is there an emoticon or faux-HTML that represents the phrase ''tongue-in-cheek''? Certainly, one could express this with /tongueincheek , or something similar, but I'm looking for something more economical, or cleverer, or both. All ideas appreciated, and TIA! (P.S. this inquiry is my punishment for losing a bet)Oh, yes...how about ... -U- , as someone has suggested to me? Does that work well?
