ImmortalSnail 🐌 🇨🇦ᖭི༏ᖫྀ :

I almost exclusively use “👀” and “🤭” in suggestive ways

Huey Mariana :

What does this emoji “🙃” mean to you all?

noodle :

indonesians use the moai statue (🗿) as sarcasm & satire sign

Frickin’ Freelance :

I use 🥖 with my friend when I’m hurt. Bread in French = pain

黄鼹鼠 exploding rat :

What… in China 👏 does mean clapping tho

danielo7599🐥🩸 :

algospeak does tell you this and more though

Heather :

in my circles 👀 exclusively means "sneaky eyes", like, *I am doing something suspicious*

KnownNicoStan :

In Japanese, 🙄 doesn't mean eye rolling, rather it's another way to express thinking.

logan :

i see the angel emoji as threatening its smile is too sinister

tazzy.s._ :

Jurassic! :

In my work slack, 👀 often means “I’m looking into it” if someone reports a problem.

Ridy :

As a native English speaker I’ve never seen the “😇” emoji as innocent. It’s at least passive aggressive

Exnilingo :

I may be a westerner, I will never interpret « 😭 « as « 😂 «  (crying happy tears). I’ve noticed that people use them interchangeably but the first one means « crying sad tears » and I can’t be convinced otherwise

diarmuid :

I've found my people 👏👏👏

Evan 🇭🇰 (19) :

Doesnt the eye emoji “👀” mean sarcasm

PARBAR :

I love these. Now, what’s the easiest language for me to learn as an American?

Polaroid :

In Brazil this 👏is not a high five. Is a praying sign.

Twój stary :

and in Poland you have to learn that XD, xD, xd, Xd, Xddd, XDDDD, xDDD, xDddd, xddddd all means something different

ToeTruck :

me and my friends use the pregnant black man emoji to indicate were finding each other annoying and no longer wish to engage in serious conversation

Thomas Smith :

The tree emoji means Mary Jane…

The AO3 author’s curse :

Same thing with numbers for example 666 means like thumbs up/cool in china+taiwan

Moccus Porcus :

Finns use 😐 for English 😂

Penguinne :

“⛹️♋️” is one that my friend group uses because it’s funny in text to speech.

Spisekage :

Ngl I want to read that book but I feel i won't understand anything 😭

seluj🪳 :
