What the hell is a semi-colon and when do I use it. from writing

A semicolon is a colon and a comma mixed together; see what I did there?

You use it to join two clauses which could be two standalone sentences. However you want there to be a slight pause, a skip of the beat as it were, instead of a period between them. I’m not sure how else to explain it.
