I have the exact same problem as the grandparent. :P For me it's something like a more muted version of this expression: http://www.nontoxicpestcontrol.com/uploads/2012/06/Poison-Help-Hotline.png http://www.nontoxicpestcontrol.com/uploads/2012/06/Poison-He... Which is a caricature, because this is more of a platonic-ideal expression than one humans actually do. It generally replaces an expression like "Heh." or "Ew." or "Bleh." or general irony. It's rarely playful in the 'child sticking their tongue out' sense. Corpus taken from IRC of me using it: 13:58 <REDACTED> Bringing me up half a standard deviation would take me into loony land. :P 16:03 <REDACTED> What? :P 00:58 <REDACTED> You always cave at the last moment. :P 23:05 <REDACTED> Sometimes I lose faith in my potential. :P 05:55 <REDACTED> You know, normally telling somebody "Oh hey I just had a nightmare about you." would deeply offend them, but I get the impression that is totally within-aesthetic for you. :P
