_ is a placeholder. Or is also used for settings.
An example of it used as a placeholder is for _,v in pairs() do
An example for settings is _G.Enabled = true
Other uses i dont know about and really you sould find it on the forums more than anything.
As the symbol :
It in lua is used in certain functions such as :Clone() or :Connect()
Nomrally a function starting with : normally (Or all the time I don't know) end in this ()
