bixie
/biksee/ , n. Variant emoticon s used BIX (the BIX Information eXchange); the term survived the demise of BIX itself. The most common ( smiley ) bixie is @_@ , representing two cartoon eyes and a mouth. These were originally invented in an SF fanzine called APA-L and imported to BIX by one of the earliest users.
