They're not frogs, they're bonsai-emoticons or "bonticons" or "emoticosai". There's you a couple of Japanese-ized terms.
I voted that Japanese terms can or should be used,...As I think that some things just don't translate to single word, and would have to be explained, but everyone having an understanding of these terms makes communication easier, within the field.
