examples: a winky smiley face
Dickens aficionados will delight in winky references to his novels, as well as to his biography: Jenny Wren of “Our Mutual Friend” lends a nickname to Miss Ricketts; Alfred’s brother’s name is Sydney (as in Carton); and the One and Only’s death has left a “Drood”-like novel unfinished, occasioning wild speculation about its conclusion.
‘Yeah, but I put a winky smiley face on it. Did you not see?’ ‘That was a sad smiley face, you total fucking moron.[…]’
He had included a winky face in his previous response. You don't haphazardly throw a winky face around like it's a thumbs-up or praise hands.
I send a winky face emoji right after this, so he knows I am just teasing him.
gloss: An emoticon or smiley that shows a winking face, such as ;-) or 😉.
pos: noun
examples: Crap, he sent a winky back. That was not good. Mixed signals were a bad way to start any kind of beginning, whether it was love or friendship.

2013, Evan A. Eskew, Brian D. Todd, Parallels in Amphibian and Bat Declines from Pathogenic Fungi, D. Peter Drotman (editor-in-chief), Emerging Infectious Diseases, Volume 19, Issues 1-3, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, page 379,
Pathogenic fungi have substantial effects on global diversity, and 2 emerging pathogenic species—the chytridiomycete Batrachochrytium dendrobatidis, which causes chytridiomycosis in amphibians, and the ascomycete Geomyces destructans, which causes white-nose syndrome in hibernating bats—are implicated in the widespread decline of their vertebrate hosts.
Chytridiomycosis is a fungal disease that was first discovered in Queensland, Australia in 1993, though it has probably been in Australia since the 1970s.
