I call them Smilies but they are also known as Emoticons. If you look above the listing of the available smilies we have you'll even notice that Invision (The maker of the message boards software) calls them Smilies.

I call them smilies. When i first started using the internet i would E-mail my sister finishing my message with a grinning face B) until she asked why i kept signing myself D when my name does not begin with a D so i suppose you have to be careful where you use them as they can cause confusion. B)

I voted "little picture things", cuz smilies is too cute, and emoticons is too technical. Actually, I like to call them

"little face thingies". :spock:

I call them "Little picture things" because i'm a bit forum/chat illiterate, I don't know all the jargon. :spock:

I call them emoticons. "Smilies" is illogical because not all of them are smiling. "Little picture things" is accurate, but their proper name is "emoticons."
