Emojis are becoming modern day hieroglyphs that young iPhone owners of today are being quickly becoming well versed in. It's coming to a point where you don't even need to type in words, you can send emojis and people will know what you mean. Instead of "I'm on my way," you send the running man. If you want to go grab a burger from Mcdonald's, you just send a burger with a question mark after it. As an English major, it makes me cringe to watch people be more comfortable using pictures rather than words but they are still fun to use none the less. There's currently 847 emojis on the iPhone but here's 13 more that we still need.
1. The Shrugging Emoji (aka The "I Don't Know What to Tell You " Emoji)
It's used all over the place anyway. We need this as a real emoji. Stat.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
2. Kim Kardashian's Ugly Cry Face
Do we need a whole line of Kim Kardashian emojis? No. We just need this one.
3. The Suh Dude Emoji
Since "Suh Dude" has now died and joined "on fleek" and "yolo" in the Cemetary of Irrelevant Slang, it is now coming close to the time that it will be ressurrected, to the dismay of many, and be used ironically. In preparation for that, you might as well make a dude with a peace sign over his eyes.
4. The Whiskey Emoji
For all my 21 and over friends, we have beer, wine and Tequila Sunrise emojis, but there's something very important missing. For all the dark liquor fans out there, a bottle of Jack or a glass half full with this elixir from the gods would be most appreciated.
5. The Kylo Ren Emoji
Just for when you're feelin' some type of way.
6. The Netflix Emoji
Is it an answer to a question or an invitation? Who knows, but Netflix is a part of our lives now so there must be an emoji dedicated to it.
7. The Zombie Emoji.
Whether you are a Walking Dead fan or not, everybody has those days when they feel like a zombie. If someone asks you how you feel and you send the Zombie emoji, they know exactly what you mean.
8. The Super Saiyan Emoji
For all the closet, and not-so-closeted, anime fans that grew up watching the show as a youngin'. It would be THE emoji used when you're letting people know you're taking things to the next freakin' level.
9. The Gold Star-You Tried Emoji
Since our generation struggles with everything except sleeping and eating (even then, that's not always guaranteed) it is really important that we get this emoji ASAP. #technicalparticipationaward.
11. The Bubble Tea Emoji
For all the basic sorority girls who need to make their bubble tea cravings known with as little effort as possible.
12. Box of Tampons
To combat the male population's terror and fear about anything related to periods and making it easy for girls to text their boyfriends what they need from the store. It would be in lieu of asking for an emoji showing a bear chewing on a uterus to get across what we feel and need in the moment.
13. A Ninja
Because who doesn't love ninjas?
