Strange smiley

I've been wondering... What does :-/ mean? Unofficial Smiley Dictionary says it means skeptical, but I always thought it had something to do with sadness...

It could mean anything from confusion to cynicism to bemusment.

It means. "No expression". Or as some people would say, "mEH".

That too.

I have always used it to express mixed feelings, for example:

The contestants on Big Brother have all been massacred :/
