How and when to use it
- If you're continuing the "ice bucket challenge" in some part of the world bringing back the rage, or reposting that nostalgic phase on social media, make sure to use πͺ£ in the caption.
- If you're texting someone about somebody else's death; real or fictional, you can use πͺ£ as a way of saying he/she kicked the bucket. For example, "Don't drool too much over this character. He kicks the bucket way early in the season πͺ£ Whoops! Spoiler alert, haha"
- You could use πͺ£ in the framework of 'fetching' something too. For instance, "Hey, just fetch me some candy on the way back, please? πͺ£".
- 'A bucketful' suggests the quantity of something. So, if you're implying to large quantities, you can use πͺ£ - "Man. I'm full AF. Just downed a bucket full of beer πͺ£".
- In some strange way, you can use πͺ£ to refer to a "bucket list" too.
