Last week, 30-year-old Scarlett Alexandra graced our TikTok feeds when she explained the REAL meaning behind various popular emojis. TL;DR: She goes to college with Gen Z'ers and is way more in tune with emoji culture than most geriatric millennials š¤.
In case you weren't aware, the skull emoji means "that was so funny, I died laughing."
The blue cap emoji could mean either "I'm lying" or "I'm not lying." Confusing, I know.
The sobbing emoji means "I'm super embarrassed."
The cowboy means "fuck this situation."
The standing man means "I feel awkward in this situation."
The dancing woman means "I'm leaving" or "when in doubt dance it out."
And finally, the chair emoji means nothing. Millennials were the butt of the joke on this one ā Gen Z'ers wanted us to think it meant something special, but it was all A LIE.
