Tagged Emoji

The Emoji tag covers individual emoji entries with their slang glosses: pictograms documented as vocabulary items in their own right, with attestation, sense splits, and generation-gap notes. The Unicode original meaning is almost never the slang meaning: skull is laughter, cap is lying, the thumbs-up reads as passive-aggressive to under-25s. Notable: skull, fire, cap, eye roll, crown, pleading, goat. The tag spans iMessage, Discord, TikTok comments, and the wider "emoji as second language" register.
