Zippy (emoticon)

zippy Zippy was an emoticon that gained notoriety in Spanish-speaking forums, especially those related to warez, in the early 2000s.

Origin

The exact origin of Zippy is not clearly established. Two main versions exist:

  • Chilean hypothesis: Some users claim it was a local creation from Chilean forums in the early 2000s.
  • British hypothesis: Others link it to Zippy, a character from the British children's television program Rainbow, originally broadcast between 1972 and 1992.

Spread

The emoticon became popular in Spanish-speaking online communities, where it was used humorously or ironically. Its spread was closely tied to the rise of warez forums and the exchange of custom emoticons on MSN Messenger.
