18 tricky emojis with hidden meanings
Slightly Smiling Face 🙂
Sure, it seems benign. But this is the emoji equivalent of replying to an email with “no worries!”, a passive-aggressive gesture designed to stoke anxiety in the recipient.
Because there are so many more cheerful emoji options that you could have selected, choosing this smiley face signals tepid interest at best, and outright contempt at worst.
Corn 🌽
The corn emoji is often used on TikTok to mean “porn.” Sexually explicit content goes against TikTok’s community guidelines, so users get creative when discussing adult topics. Using the corn emoji (get it? It rhymes) helps users skirt the rules and prevent their content from being deleted.
Clapping Hands 👏
This can be used to refer to “clapping back”, when someone responds to an insult or criticism in a witty fashion.
When used between words (like 👏 this 👏) it indicates emphasis on the statement. However, accessibility advocates have pointed out that using the clapping hands emoji in this case is a nightmare for those who rely on screen readers.
Dashing Away 💨
Whereas this emoji represents the puff of air that you just see behind a fast-moving cartoon character, it’s additionally generally used to seek advice from vaping or smoking. Additionally, based mostly on my very scientific evaluation of my very own group chats, it additionally represents farting.

Whereas this instance is just a few years previous, the dramatic rise of the bee emoji is a reminder of how quickly emoji meanings can evolve.
Avocado 🥑
That is used regularly on Snapchat to seek advice from being somebody’s “higher half.” Cute!
Leaf Fluttering in Wind 🍃
This emoji is usually used to seek advice from marijuana.
Chilly Face 🥶
This will seek advice from harsh or savage habits, like “Rattling, that’s chilly.”
Fairy 🧚
You’ll usually see the fairy emoji on TikTok as a part of a darkish or mean-spirited joke. For example, somebody would possibly write within the touch upon a video “You go lady! 🧚 and don’t come again plz! 🧚” or “you have got a lot confidence! 🧚 no concept why tho 💕☺️”
Nail Polish 💅
The nail polish emoji is usually used to imply unbothered or detached. It’s just a little bit sassy, like saying “Who cares? Not me.” It’s the emoji equal of this iconic Don Draper line. It will also be an indication that somebody is homosexual or part of the LGBTQIA+ neighborhood.
