Meaning and Interpretation
🙅 Think of this as your digital 'hands up, stop right there.' It’s not just a polite 'no'—it’s a firm, 'absolutely not,' 'I'm not doing that,' or 'that idea is a no-go.' You can also use it to block out bad vibes or shut down nonsense, like when someone suggests pineapple on pizza. It’s the emoji equivalent of crossing your arms and shaking your head.
