bixie: /bik´see/ n.
Variant emoticons 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.
