You can praise them, criticize them, connect with them or refuse to use them, but the one thing you can't do is ignore them. Emojis are everywhere whether you choose to send them or regrettably receive them in a text message from a friend. In this fast paced and technology driven world, emojis are a common practice used to communicate quickly and are especially used by millennials. While some emojis and their meanings are straight forward, others can have confusing meanings. Here is my interpretation of emojis if they were based off of real people and real circumstances.
1. Twin dancing emoji.
These identical ladies are pretty much attached at the hip and seem like they would be those two annoying best friends in high school who claim to finish each other's sentences. They have a dual wedding and get pregnant at the same time so their kids can be best friends too.
2. Nervous emoji.
This is the emoji that many people choose to use as the "nervous emoji," but I think the meaning is much deeper. The eyes appear to be happy eyes but the teeth make the emoji seem like it's trying to display the emotion of nervousness. I think you would use this emoji if you were trying to "play it cool" and make it seem like you were all good when in reality you're freaking out inside.
3. Biking emoji.
This is the emoji I would use to show fierce determination or commitment. I mean, you would have to be if you've successfully biked such a large mountain and are still going.
4. Raising hand emoji.
This is the Hermione Granger of all emojis. It's that one kid in class who always knows the answer but still feels like he/she has to prove it. I would use this emoji to prove a point to a fellow friend.
5. Nerd emoji.
When the Hermione Granger emoji just won't do, use this nerd emoji. It's slightly more of a quirky emoji and is used when someone does something dorky rather than gets the correct answer on a test.
6. Guy in tuxedo emoji.
7. Surfer guy emoji.
Who in their right mind would wear clothes while surfing? Or better yet, a full black jumpsuit like this gentleman? While someone else might use this emoji to showcase they are about to go swimming, I would only ever really use this emoji to describe when someone else is doing something or acting insane.
8. Blushing emoji with hands up.
This can be used when someone is embarrassed but still trying to act cute about it. You wouldn't use it if something actually shameful happened to you, like if you walked in on someone else in the bathroom stall... No, you one only use this particular emoji for an event that was low-key embarrassing, like staring at your crush and running into a door.
9. Daydreaming emoji.
While others would use this emoji to describe a daydream, I would only use it to demand others to bow down to me when I'm correct about something and have proved them wrong.
10. Hand out emoji.
This is supposed to be the "I'm serving you something" emoji, but I would only ever use it as a form of aggression.
11. No mouth emoji.
It's used when there are no words to describe what just happened, and it can and should be used to bridge awkward gaps between friends and family. For example, if you get a text from someone that clearly wasn't meant for you, THIS would be the appropriate response.
12. Bathtub emoji.
Used when you are down with anything and everything and can't take the conversation anymore. This is the emoji that will end all conversations the quickest.
13. Zipper face emoji.
When you have a secret you can't tell the person you're texting and they keep pestering you to tell them, send this emoji. It will fix the problem almost immediately, as humans are very visual creatures.
14. Slow walking man.
This is the laziest of all lazy emojis. No one will ask you to workout with them anymore if you just send this emoji a million times.
15. Strange winky face emoji.
This is the emoji to send when you can't decide on which emotion you are experiencing. The left side of the face is happy while the right side is crazy. The person on the receiving end of this emoji will be so confused when you send this that they will probably just stop talking to you because they can't even begin to decipher what you mean.
