Meaning and Interpretation
😐 Okay, so this is basically the 'meh' face. It's what you use when someone tells a joke that isn't funny but you don't want to be mean, or when you're waiting for someone who is super late. It says 'I'm not impressed' without being totally rude. Think of it as the emoji version of shrugging your shoulders. It's also great for when you see drama going down and you're just sitting back watching it unfold without getting involved.
