The ":-S~~~~S" emote or "I Can't Speak" emote typically represents being speechless, shocked, or at a loss for words. The combination of the colon, hyphen, capital S, and multiple tilde symbols creates an image of a face with a wide open mouth and a tongue sticking out, conveying a sense of disbelief or surprise.
