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 βparents and people over the age of 35,β to explain the top 10 most-misused emojis... How many of these are you getting wrong?
π Loudly Crying Face - This is guilty pleasure laughter or laughing at something you shouldnβt be laughing at.
π€£ Rolling on the Floor Laughing - βThis does mean laughter but should only be used when trying to make someone mad, specifically when you are roasting someone,β Blanko explains.
π₯΅ Hot Face -This one means youβre physically attracted to someone.
πΉ Cat With Tears of Joy - Itβs ironic, sarcastic and βbasically used to mock someone.β
π Slightly Smiling Face - Seems innocent enough, but not according to Blanko, who says, βThis is a death threat. If you get this, run.β But Emojipedia lists it as both positive, and patronizing, so itβs easily confused.
π Upside Down Face - Apparently itβs the same as the Slightly Smiling Face, but even more passive-aggressive.
π Thumbs Up - Not a vote of approval, but a βrude, hostile or passive aggressive dismissal intended to permanently end the conversation.β
πΆPerson Walking - βUse these for awkward situations,β Blanko says. βIt's meant to signify leaving the room when situations get intensely uncomfortable.β
π£ Fishing Pole - This one means fishing for compliments or validation.
π Prayer Emoji - As its official name explains, these are praying hands, not a βhigh five.β
