The word equivalent I think best describes it is “message received. Nothing else.ĭoes that make sense? For us it feels like we’re *really* putting in effort to make them feel seen/loved/not lonely and they are like “Christ be less desperate.” Like we have teenage elders, hahah! And it doesn’t have to be a sign off – it could be like, a message wishing them a happy birthday or a happy Halloween or whatever - the point is, the thumbs up emoji comes off like the other person is just *way too much* and you really wish they would eff off. The response is an effing thumbs up emoji. Really looking forward to it – love you!” It doesn’t help that the two worst offenders are one each of our closest living relatives left (his father, my grandmother) – my grandmother has been texting for over 20 years so don’t give her a break! But say they text about what they are doing, we’ll text back a response and ask when would be a good time to chat, they will text back something like “tomorrow afternoon should be fine, but also Wednesday or Thursday.” And we’ll respond with the equivalent of, “okay great! Call you around 4 tomorrow if that’s okay. For us it has nothing to do with being cool or uncool, and *everything* to do with passive-aggressiveness. I feel like I left the womb mid-life but I’m an elder-ish Millennial, and I HATE the thumbs up emoji – so does my husband (who, conveniently, also seemed to leave the womb as a middle aged man). Find a meme or sticker that has an edit icon in the lower right corner.

Note: this emoji is not supported in Twitter names, to minimize confusion with a verified checkmark. Me: Just to be safe? I’d say only if you’re Fonzie. Me: Eggplant emoji did not make the list. Apparently we’re also supposed to stop using thumbs-up, okay fingers, kissy face, red hearts… The thumbs-up reaction is blue and is attached to the person’s text bubble. Me: The thumbs-up emoji is yellow and stand alone. But we’re Gen X so I guess we’re not supposed to? But I don’t know if I’m still cool because I never use the thumbs-up emoji but I’m always using the thumbs-up reaction and I don’t know if that’s different. Me: According to the internet Gen Z finds the thumbs up emoji passive-aggressive and hostile, but Gen X uses it all the time because they don’t understand. Victor: I don’t even know what that means but it sounds like something I already don’t do. But now you know and better late than never.Me: So apparently we’re supposed to stop thumbs-up emojying young people at work. This sure is a revelation for a lot of the not so young people.

She also pointed out that the sideways face emoji, which has one eye larger than the other and sticks its tongue out, implies “silly”. Talking about the other emojis, she said that the teary-eyed emoji represents innocence or being horny. Scarlett also pointed out that several other emojis are also interpreted wrongly as we do not know their real purpose. That probably means that many of us have insulted the people we have sent the emoji to without either them or us knowing it. “If you ever receive the thumbs up emoji, be insulted immediately,” she said. However, a TikTok user named earlier this year, shared a one-minute long video talking about the real meaning of emojis as Gen Z kids use them and the thumbs up emoji was one of them.Īccording to The Sun, Scarlett revealed that the thumbs-up emoji was meant to denote passive-aggressiveness. It is often sent to display our approval to something or just as a substitute for ‘ok’. However, how many of us know what each of these emojis stands for?Ī popular emoji that almost everyone uses is the Thumbs Up. Who has time to type for that long?
