Introduction
I often find myself using a particular emoji to indicate a feeling, vibe, or “canned reaction” to something online. Oftentimes these can be open to interpretation1, so I’ve attempted to capture my own fun descriptors here. The list is by no means complete or accurate.
The Codex
- 👀 Awkward. Basically this meme.
- 🙈 Embarrassment.
- 💪🏻 “Good work (especially athletically)!”
- 😈 “Let’s pull the pin on this grenade. It’s time to start some shit.”
- 🎯 “Nailed it.” “Spot on.” “Exactly.”
- 💯 Strong agreement.
- ‼️ “There’s something really important here!” (associated with this sound)
