Meaning and Interpretation

🪆 This is basically the OG Russian stacking doll! Use it when you're talking about something that has layers within layers - like that one friend who seems simple but has so many hidden depths, or when you're unboxing drama that just keeps getting more complicated. It's perfect for 'wait, there's MORE?!' moments. Think of it as the emoji version of peeling back the curtain to find... another curtain 🤯

  • Finding out the 'simple' project has 10 different stakeholders
