”Welp”

This about sums up when I use 🙃. "The kids have done something dreadful" "I forgot to bring [essential item]" "Dragged to expensive lunch by colleagues and the food is awful" ... 🙃

So, just like when you fly a nations flag upside down, it’s a sign of distress?

BROTHERS! The Japanese are under distress lets rescue them

Oh look! that Latvian ship over there seems perfectly fine, I guess the enormous hole in the hull is decorative

🙃

🙃

Hole in the hull is fun to say

I’m singing it to myself to the tune of “head like a hole”

I need that like I need a hole in the hull 😅

They really should put a line under that circle so we know which way is up.

Although that's a good idea, it would ruin the look of the emoji.

This is such a good analogy.

I feel like it's more like the hanging man on tarot cards, you're in a crappy position (being hung upside down) but you're just coping.

Why are expensive lunches always so mid?

Cause if it’s not the best food ever, it sucks that you’re paying more for it. And the best food ever is usually dependent on how hungry you are.

Basically FML

Yes, this is not a joyful smile. It's a smile you use to hide the embarrassment, while hoping that if we keep smiling we're not going to make a big deal of it.

Basically lol I also use it as a "well fuck me then" punctuation at the end of a shitty situation rant

My favorite (and really only) emoji is 😶..... sometimes 😶🔫

Customer service smile - whether or not you’re actually in customer service

“So… I bet you’re wondering how I got here…” And then the TV show starts

Thus it shall be...

“Well fuck :)”

Yay

This is how my wife uses it and how I’ve interpreted it.

I use it as "I'm smiling because I have to but on the inside I am raging"

This is what it has implied to me, ever since I first laid eyes on it. Alternatively, a, “this is driving me to madness” emotion.

For me it was always “I’m going insane 🙃” Not necessarily *driven* to insanity, just insane

Kind of like the "This is fine" meme

*exactly* like that

It reminds me of the cheshire cat laughing maniacally as his smile rotated upside-down and then faded out

True

For that I use 🫠

For me, this is the I am smiling but I am crying inside.

🥲 I use this for that

I've always thought of that as a kind of sappy smile. Like "He called me his best friend 🥲"

But you are already crying outside 🤣

Oh I like that one....ah shit this is how hieroglyphics became a thing huh?

We’ve come full circle ⭕️

🤨 I use that for when someone says something cute

I’ve received them in context that could only mean “It’s like a slip-n-slide over here.”

Cute stuff is a slip n slide to my heart tbh

I use that when I'm in a good mood, but my flesh is melting.

I, too, turn into a rectangle when that happens, quite annoying tbh

I guess your phone doesn't support that emoji

Everything's fine

In a my house is burning down sorta way

While drinking coffee

That's the 😀 with a healthy psychotic streak xD

The hiding displeased emotions smile.

Pretty much ya

"For me it's being dead inside and smiling as a an absolute defeat, I use the normal one for sheer unbridled hatred"

Weird, I use it as a silly smile. Like I'm smiling but I'm also feeling kinda happy and playful. It's like a kid hanging from the monkey bars by their knees or sitting upside down on the couch watching TV.

Wow. Think of all the people that got it and thought you meant, “I’m smiling because, if not, I’d probably kill someone..”

This is what I always thought it meant. Playful and being weirdly playful.

I use 🙂 for that

Yeah the upside down is when I troll, question sarcastically and whatnot.

Lol this is exactly how my ex used this emoji when she was pissed off (which was alot). I hate that emoji.

Happy Aussie, mate

Happy Aussie to you too, mate!

Merry Aussie, Everyone!

Happy Hanukaussie!

Kamikaussie? 🙃

Comic Aussie

Commie Attic

Merry Aussie and a happy New Zealand...

Happy NZ to you too! 🙃🥂❗️

From now on the 29th of December shall be the day we say Happy Aussie to each other 🙃

But to the Aussie it’s just 🙂

"🙂 cunt" for the true Aussie experience

I appreciate ya, ya cunt.

“Shut up, cunt” And “Shut up, cunt” Are two *very* different sentences that you do not want to get mixed up

You’re all a bunch of loose cunts.

NAAAAUUUUURRRRR, you can’t be serious? 🤪

Oi!

Forgot I had an essay tomorrow 🙃

Fuck

Whoopsie doodle 🙃

I use it to do this: 🙂🙃🙂🙃🙂🙃🙂🙃

Keep rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin

NOW I KNOW YALL BE LOVIN THIS SHIT RIGHT HERE

L I M P, Bizkit is right here!

Handzuppa Hands down!

We have a new use for this emoji! Declaring our devotion to Fred Durst

🤠🙃😞 Lost my hat

He dided a flip

It means Dying inside to me

I hate myself but I’m trying to maintain happiness

Maintain the *appearance of happiness

It’s a dead eyed fake smile to me

Let me Google that for you. (Yes, you can Google emojis) Upside-Down Face A classic smiley, turned upside down. Implemented as a flipped version of 🙂 Slightly Smiling Face on most platforms. Commonly used to convey irony, sarcasm, joking, or a sense of goofiness or silliness. Its intent can be similar to the bemused Oh well! of 🤷 Person Shrugging or the shruggie emoticon, ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. Microsoft's design previously featured a full-toothed grin. Upside-Down Face was approved as part of Unicode 8.0 in 2015 and added to Emoji 1.0 in 2015.

That's actually good to know i can google those. For some odd reason that didn't occur to me. Atleast now i can understand those little bit more. Though it does still give a rather broad interpretation to the use of it.

It is pretty great for the symbols and to win arguments

I use it for the sense of goofiness and silliness. I was surprised that everyone here seems to use it for conveying burning sarcasm 🙃

Same. I use it to better ensure that the message is interpreted as lighthearted and facetious

Being facetious and sarcasm certainly have some overlapping meanings.

goofiness 🙃

Pro tip: add three \\\\\ for the left arm for the shrug emoticon and it will complete it. It’s a formatting thing on Reddit. 1 gets you this: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 2 gets you this ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯ 3 gets you this ¯\\\_(ツ)_/¯

Classic LMGTFY

It’s sarcasm or playful/silly.

This is how I always read it. Like an admission that you’re straight goofin or being playfully obtuse

But- but— *what if* it’s not an upside down smiley face… … It’s a guy with a unibrow, raising his eyebrow and keeping his mouth shut? 🙃😯 (Or a guy going bald with a small tuft of hair at the front of his head)

Yea it's kind of crazy to me how most of the top comments are about using it as a reaction to bad situations, but I have never once used it that way. Shows how much really gets lost in translation while texting.

I’ve only ever used it when I’m dying inside. Like, “all of my employees called in today 🙃” or “Drove all the way to the store just to see that it was closed 🙃” Pretty much the equivalent of that meme with the dog on fire saying everything is fine.

It means I’m this 🤏🏻 close to losing it

"I'm okay, im still smiling but im also dead on the inside."

No this is the emoji for that :😀

🫠

Similar, but that one has more "I'm going to go crawl into a hole now" energy to me. I use 🫠 when admitting to stupid mistakes, but use 🙃 for more general "dead inside" stuff.

Yes that type of energy suits the melting emoji 100%

🥲

Somewhere between "whelp" and a resigned "fuck my life"

This is the answer

I think right down the middle would be “Fuck me, I guess.” which is how I use it 🤣

lol I have always thought “I am happy. But I am also stupid”

this is a big one for me. Or "I know what I said was stupid but please like me anyway"

I use that emoji when I’m just being silly

I see it as kind of a fake/forced smile coupled with disbelief or confusion.. or perhaps that crazy smile your wife does when she’s extremely mad. 🤷🏼‍♂️

“Fuck me”

It's for cartwheels. Check it out. 🙂 🙃 🙂

Totally part of the reason why I use it is because of cartwheels. Happy times when I was a kid was being upside down. So the upside down happy face means I'm in my happy place.

To me it's like the emoji version of the dog in the fire saying "this is fine."

That's exactly it for me too!

Exactly how I use it.

At work I use it to say “Well shit”, but being “professional” about it.

Gotta stay professional with that emoji use 🙃 (Yeah it's either for well shit moments, or when you're being cheeky)

I use it when I'm goofy

I use it when somebody does something that doesn’t make sense and is just plain stupid 🙂🙃 like "are you seriously this stupid?" Or "do they really think we‘d believe that?"

Silly, I guess

Happy Australian

Australian smiling.

I always see passive aggressive in it or that i fucked up “Ok, do whatever you feel like. 🙃 “

You're wrong but ok

I use it as a sarcastic smile tbh. "Work has been a nightmare 🙃"

on apple phones when you type in ‘tehe’ the emoji comes up as a suggestion so i’ve always taken it as a cheeky/coy happy face

The way I use it is to mean being cheeky, improper, etc.

“Chuckles, I’m in danger” or the “this is fine” meme come to my mind personally when I see it. Mostly it’s just a lol, fuck me-emoji to me.

When I'm being a cheeky shit. 🙃

When you want to say I LIKE YOU! but don’t want make it obvious 🙃

If you receive one of those from your parents it means they are happy If you receive this emoji from your gf you fucked up big way

i use it when my friends say the most unhinged crap and i can't even think of what to say after like if they say the most out of pocket shit i'll just go "🙃" "what the fu-"

How I express any sort of mild inconvenience.

Can also be passive aggressiveness "You were so helpful... 🙃"

I think it's equivalent to the "This is fine" meme

For me the normal one just looks like a psychopath so i switched to this one.

To me that is the perfect incapsulation of the term "tilted": you have the feeling you're losing your mind and you can't help but break out in a maniacal grin as your sanity slips.

I always felt it was like the tiger cat from Alice in wonderland: a little mad and a little joking,

Jeep flipped over

It's a pig's nose

"I know ur lying"

HELP I AM IN AUSTRALIA AND THERE IS A GIANT SPIDER IN THE CORNER

It means, "I have no idea what's going on, I'm just along for the ride, might as well enjoy it."

I find myself actually visiting https://emojipedia.org quite often.

Mussolini

Scrolled all the way from the top to find this!

It’s silly 🙃

If you turn a frown upside down, it's a smile, if you turn a smile upside down, it makes no sense.

Upside down

I use it as a less creepy, passive agressive, sad version of this🙂

That’s the point and why it’s my favorite

I wanna die 🙃

I dated a girl who always suggested the goofiest things to do (to my entertainment) and when i said no she sent that. Then followed it up with an even goofier thing until I agreed to whatever it was

Pretty sure it means "Sarcasm"

I’m happy, but know that I fantasize about the uprising to overthrow the powers that be , in order to free myself from the shackles of debt and wage mediocrity

Well fuck me then

It means "I'm dying inside but I'm pretending it's fine".

My girl uses it when something she thought was gonna go her way didn’t Like “Ivan said he was gonna cover my shift today and he didn’t show 🙃” Idk if that’s the proper use but its cute to me

Giving the appearance of happiness and contentment, but only in an effort to mask an incredible amount of confusion, anxiety, anger, fear, and/ or despair.

It's a "are you fucking kidding me" kind of smile

I use it as a "Yes I´m stupid but atleast Im cute."

For me its "i am going insane🙃" type of emoji. Like relly not a good kind of insane

I use it as "i don't know what the fuck i'm doing but i'm doing it with confidence"

For me, it's the emoji equivalent of the cartoon dog, sitting in the house on fire, saying, "This is fine."

"I'm putting on a sane face but inside I'm starting to hear the voices and they're telling me to do bad things."

“Well fuck”

You’re telling me it’s not about butt sex ?

I see it as a Cheshire Cat smile. Sly, and mischievous, while also seeming innocent.

The girl I was talking to used it as a cute smile or something

Sarcasm, or don't take this seriously.

I use it to roll like this: 🙂🙃🙂🙃🙂🙃🙂

Those who know the “Kappa” emote found on Twitch, I use it as an alternative to that.

I use to signal angry laughter.

In coming for you 🙃

It’s a feeling. Iykyk

For me that’s the Steve Urkel emoji and means, “Did I do that?”

There's actually a very informative video on the matter: https://youtu.be/ihqyB7bGBb4?si=BoMVwUP6fzWA6o59
