Emoji Meaning Guide: Communicate Without Embarrassment

It’s hard to believe, but before emoji, there was a time when people were forced to communicate with words alone. Communication was tense and confusing. People were forced to exchange phrases “Are you kidding??” texts to understand the true meaning of the statement. It was a dark time.

Fortunately, in 2022 there are emojis for all occasions. And adding them to your social media posts isn’t just fun. Adding emojis can increase engagement by 25% on Twitter and 57% more likes on Facebook. In one AdEspresso experiment, adding an emoji to an ad title increased clicks by 241%!

Why It’s Important to Understand Emoji Meanings

We’re using more emoji than ever before, and for good reason: they’re versatile, inclusive, and fun. But when adding emoji to your social media posts, you need to make sure you use them correctly.

Each emoji has a literal meaning (that’s a peach), but many of them also have secondary meanings that change over time (that’s an ass too!). Often the secondary meaning overshadows the first: only 7% of users actually use the peach emoji to represent fruit.

As a result, it’s important to understand the meanings of emoji before using them to avoid potential embarrassment or misunderstanding. You definitely don’t want to be the grocery store that tweets, “Look at our eggplants!!! ??”unless you’re hoping to get some NSFW photos in your private messages.

Luckily for you, we’ve put together a handy emoji meaning index below. The next time you’re wondering what a particular emoji means, or why everyone is suddenly posting a chair emoji on TikTok, you can refer to the one below.

18 tricky emoticons with hidden meanings

Slightly smiling face ?

Of course it seems to be benign. But it’s an emoticon equivalent to replying to an email with “don’t worry!”, a passive-aggressive gesture designed to make the recipient uneasy.

Because there are so many funnier emoji options you could choose from, choosing this emoji signals tepid interest at best, and sheer contempt at worst.

Corn ?

The corn emoji is often used on TikTok to mean “porn”. Sexual content is against the TikTok community guidelines, so users are getting creative when discussing adult topics. Using the corn emoji (get it? that rhymes) helps users get around the rules and prevent their content from being taken down.

Clap your hands ?

It can be used to refer to “applause”when someone responds wittily to an insult or criticism.

When used between words (e.g. ? this ?) it indicates an emphasis on a statement. However, accessibility advocates point out that using clapping emoji in this case is a nightmare for those who rely on screen readers.

Running away ?

Although this emoji represents the puff of air you see behind a fast moving cartoon character, it is also commonly used to refer to vaping or smoking. Also, based on my very scientific analysis of my own group chats, this also represents farting.

Goat ?

GOAT is slang for “Greatest of All Time”. When someone drops a goat emoji, you should feel pretty good about yourself.

snake ?

The snake emoji is often used to draw someone for meanness or duplicity. This is most notorious for the 2016 Taylor Swift-Kanye feud.

Bee ?

Often used by Beyoncé fans along with the lemon emoji. Both emojis skyrocketed after the release of her album Lemonade in 2016.

While this example is several years old, the explosion in the number of bee emojis is a reminder of how quickly emoji meanings can change.

Avocado ?

It is often used on Snapchat to refer to someone’s “better half”. Cute!

Leaf fluttering in the wind ?

This emoji is often used to refer to marijuana.

Cold face ?

It can refer to abrupt or wild behavior, such as “Damn, that’s cold.”

Fairy ?

You will often see fairy emoji on TikTok as part of a dark or mean joke. For example, someone might comment on a video, “Come on girl! ? and don’t come back plz! ?” or “You have so much confidence! ? no idea why ?☺️”

Nail polish ?

The nail polish emoji is often used to represent indifference or indifference. It’s a little cheeky, like saying, “Who cares? Not me.”This is the emoji equivalent of Don Draper’s iconic line.

Skull ?

If you use the cry-laugh emoji when something is funny, you are probably in your 30s. Gen Z, meanwhile, uses a skull when something is funny. (For example, “so funny that I’m ready to die”).

Brain ?

Another emoji that has taken on new lustful connotations. The brain emoji is often used on TikTok to mean “give head”.

Information desk employee ?‍♀️

This emoji appears to be a helpful member of the information desk, ready to answer your questions. But it’s usually used as a shrug, meaning “Who knows?”or “I don’t care!”The figure looks like it is waving its hair, which adds to the cockiness or sarcasm.

Bowing man ?

Because emoji originated in Japan, many of them reflect Japanese norms and culture. For example, this person bows deeply as a sign of respect. But a lot of people, especially in North America, feel like they’ve put their head on the table like they’re tired or tired. Think about your audience before using this!

Anger ?

Another emoji of Japanese origin, it resembles the veins that appear on a manga character’s face when he is enraged.

New Moon ?

This emoji is often used to express disapproval or to signal that the sender is throwing a shadow.
