After having a long talk with Siri, I have found out that a few commonly used emojis are not being used for their intended purpose. When I asked Siri to read these emojis for me this is what she came up with:

1) Sleepy Face

For most of you avid emoji uses this face has been used for either sick or crying but you would be so very wrong. If you have ever watched any of the Japanese cartoons you will see that for some reason whenever a character is sleeping they cannot keep their saliva in their mouth and that is what this emoji is meant to represent. Why the emoji is drooling from its nose, however, is beyond me.

2) Woman With Bunny Ears (Playboy Bunny)

For many people, this emoji is used to express happiness between friends. Well, I guess that can be true depending on how "friendly" you get with your friends but to the Japanese this is the equivalent to the American Playboy Bunny.

3) Person Bowing Deeply

This emoji is commonly mistaken as a thought emoji likely because it resembles the light bulb above a person's head. Great thought and all but you'd be dead wrong on that one. In the Japanese culture the deeper you bow for someone the more respect you are showing them. This bow is commonly used when you are apologizing for something.

4) Japanese Ogre

Commonly mistaken for Carol from Where The Wild Things Are or simply a devil face but this is supposed to represent a Japanese ogre mask.

5) Customer Service Person

For all my girls (and guys for that matter I don't judge) that can flawlessly snap in a Z formation this is probably a go to emoji for you. This emoji is commonly used as "hair flip" or any sort of sass reference but the intended purpose is to represent a person holding out their hand in order to offer you help.
