For me it's this one: 🤤
the dribbly mouth emoji. I find it slightly off putting for some reason. It's usually posted alongside some delicious looking food, but it always puts me off the food a bit!

closely followed by this one: 💁‍♀️
no idea why, I just don't like its attitude

what are yours?

@AgnesNaismith

I’m with *@Cocolapew* this one 🤪 is so ‘oh I’m so crazy and kooky, get me’ usually said after something slightly passive aggressive on the school WhatsApp.

🥴 this one can fuck off too...what is it even trying to say? Is it embarrassed for itself or the person it’s sent to?

I think 🥴 has farted and it stinks. Sorry Grin

I hate this one 🥴 it’s becoming more popular and it makes me feel ill. I’ve no idea why.

I’m a keen lover of 🙈🤣 and need to stop!

ArseInTheCoOpWindow · 25/03/2021 16:33

🤡

Terrifying

This is the universal symbol for Boris. So yeah, your’re right!

LifesLittleDeciders · 25/03/2021 16:35

🙂 - this one is the ‘I WANT you to know I don’t like you but you can’t call me out because.. well it’s just a smile’ Face and it annoys me so much.

YES!!! Both of these are the absolute worst! They make me irrationally angry!
Oooohbehave · 25/03/2021 16:40

💪 This one. Usually posted by someone who thinks other people are interested in thier gym session.

HeyMicky · 25/03/2021 16:45

🥴 is drunk so I suspect many people are not portraying what they think they are.

😜 is dreadful

Norwaydidnthappen · 25/03/2021 16:47

I hate the monkeys 🐵.

RightYesButNo · 25/03/2021 16:59

@Norwaydidnthappen

I hate the monkeys 🐵.
Agreed. I’ve never seen anyone use it who didn’t mean, 1. “Oh, I’m being a cute cheeky monkey,” OR 2. “My DC is such a cheeky monkey,” when usually, 1. they were being a total fecking idiot, or, 2. the DC was acting a complete brat.

I’m also not a fan of 🤗 @Lonelycrab. I know people use it to represent a hug, but the last thing I want when I’ve just shared bad news is an emoji hug from tiny deformed jazz hands.

CloudFormations · 25/03/2021 17:26

This cunt —> 😉

Markies · 25/03/2021 17:28

😘 Maybe not obnoxious but I really cringe at this one. Irrationally hate it.

HazeyJaneII · 25/03/2021 17:35

I'm going to restrict myself to the mumsnet emojis...but this is mostly what goes through my head when I see them...
Grin 'I'm right kerazy me!'
Wink 'I think I'm so bloody clever'
Shock 'I'm easily shocked'
Hmm 'I'm very passive aggressive'
Confused 'I'm easily confused'
Blush 'I am not really embarrassed otherwise I wouldn't be putting this on social media'
Angry 'meh'
Sad 'this feels inappropriate for the magnitude of your/my sorrow'
Envy 'hmm yes, I'm really jealous honestly'
Bear I hope this person is actually a bear'
Smile 'aah, the only acceptable emoji'

iklboo · 25/03/2021 17:38

The shrug one. Usually used by people who haven't read the OP properly, the full thread or can't remotely get their heads round the fact that not everyone has the same experience, facilities, finances they have.

00100001 · 25/03/2021 17:42

🤑

TheyCalledherPatience · 25/03/2021 17:44

🤦‍♀️.
My ex husband uses it when he disagrees with a decision of mine to imply I've been stupid but without having to say it so he can then tell me I'm being over sensitive.

I really hate it!

CodMouth · 25/03/2021 17:45

💦 that one.

LucieStar · 25/03/2021 17:46

🤮
This one

LadyCatStark · 25/03/2021 17:47

👍 with no other text. It means “I don’t care enough to even write a response”. Or “you are definitely wrong but I can’t be arsed to explain why.”

LadyCatStark · 25/03/2021 17:48

@CodMouth

💦 that one.
I once used these emojis: ✊💦 to explain that my son had been put on his motorbike in the rain. Apparently that is not what it means... 😂
ReceptacleForTheRespectable · 25/03/2021 17:49

This one. It's so bloody twee. Like fucking Cath Kidston in emoji form.
😊

imsoinmyhead · 25/03/2021 17:49

🤪 this without question.

🤔 this one I also hate, really passive aggressive

🤦‍♀️ this is really dismissive

LucieStar · 25/03/2021 17:49

@LadyCatStark

👍 with no other text. It means “I don’t care enough to even write a response”. Or “you are definitely wrong but I can’t be arsed to explain why.”

Yes! This too, when it's just sent in reply with no other texts. My DD's dad used to do it when I sent him a long ranty text about what an arse he was being. I'd literally just get that back, with no response to any of my questions. Infuriating! Envy

PuppyMonkey · 25/03/2021 17:52

Hmm is the best. I wish it was universal.

👍 is my favourite way to say “stop messaging me now, I don’t want to talk to you any more.

PicsInRed · 25/03/2021 17:57

@Lonelycrab

🤗 smug jazz hands
"Smug jazz hands" Grin
