Top 10 Most Misused Emojis

92% of people use emojis but it seems a lot of us, myself included, might be sending the wrong message. USA Today hooked up with TikTok comedian Ethan Blanko, known for his videos explaining what certain emojis mean to β€œparents and people over the age of 35,” to explain the top 10 most-misused emojis... How many of these are you getting wrong?

😭 Loudly Crying Face - This is guilty pleasure laughter or laughing at something you shouldn’t be laughing at.

🀣 Rolling on the Floor Laughing - β€œThis does mean laughter but should only be used when trying to make someone mad, specifically when you are roasting someone,” Blanko explains.

πŸ₯΅ Hot Face -This one means you’re physically attracted to someone.

😹 Cat With Tears of Joy - It’s ironic, sarcastic and β€œbasically used to mock someone.”

πŸ™‚ Slightly Smiling Face - Seems innocent enough, but not according to Blanko, who says, β€œThis is a death threat. If you get this, run.” But Emojipedia lists it as both positive, and patronizing, so it’s easily confused.

πŸ™ƒ Upside Down Face - Apparently it’s the same as the Slightly Smiling Face, but even more passive-aggressive.

πŸ‘ Thumbs Up - Not a vote of approval, but a β€œrude, hostile or passive aggressive dismissal intended to permanently end the conversation.”

🚢Person Walking - β€œUse these for awkward situations,” Blanko says. β€œIt's meant to signify leaving the room when situations get intensely uncomfortable.”

🎣 Fishing Pole - This one means fishing for compliments or validation.

πŸ™ Prayer Emoji - As its official name explains, these are praying hands, not a β€œhigh five.”
