Do you mean :)))? It is similar to LOL, a big smile/laugh.
Uncontrollable hilarity. )))) means you need an EMT.
Why not just ask the person who sent it?
It means that the being who sent the text is smiling with 3 of its mouths.
Not sure… there are no defined rules of emoticons. I think most are open to interpretation. But my guess would be a big grin or laughing smile.
Assuming it was preceded by a colon, this:
:)))
means a much bigger smile than this:
:)
However, I’ve always thought it was a very poor way of expressing a big smile, since we already have this:
:D
to indicate a big smile. By contrast, the two extra brackets make it look like it’s a regular smile, but with multiple chins, as if the smiling person were seriously overweight.
As such, the smiley with multiple brackets is as big a fail as when people put in extra hard consonants when they are trying to indicate that they are stretching out the word for emphasis. So, if they mean to say:
Okaaaaaaay!
or
Okayyyyyyyy!
which tries to express in print what one might say out loud, but they instead write:
Okkkkkay!
this does not produce the desired result at all. How do you even pronounce that? Silly.
Or the extended use of punctuation to express an inability to lift one’s finger off the keyboard.
