A smiley (also called an "emoticon") is a text-based representation of a facial expression and can include accessories such as a hat. You can use emoticons on social networking websites like Facebook to convey an emotional context to accompany your message or as a message itself. The top hat smiley can denote that you are feeling "classy" or "fancy." You can also use the top hat smiley to represent a picture of Abraham Lincoln, who was famous for his stove-pipe (top) hat.
