In texting, this emoji is used by people who have received a text they aren鈥檛 a hundred percent cool with. Insomniac Magazine calls it 鈥渂lushing smiley face鈥檚 ratchet stepsister鈥� and instructs you, upon receiving one, to听鈥渁pologize immediately, ideally with actual words.鈥�听On Hello Giggles,听Madison Vanderberg suggests using it if you receive an unwanted nude, 鈥淚f you鈥檙e polite, you hit them with this emoji.鈥�听
