🙍♂️
What 🙍♂️ means
A shoulder-length, generic portrayal of a man with a frowning face and side-parted hair. This emoji signifies sadness, disappointment, regret, grief, nervousness, and even helplessness felt by any man.
Available in the designated skin tones on almost all platforms, the clothing style and color may vary from one platform to another.
How and when to use it
- If you heard or rather read about some disappointing news from a friend or a relative over text, use 🙍♂️ as a reaction (only in not-so-serious contexts, of course).
- You could also use 🙍♂️ in your captions while posting about something grievous.
- Use 🙍♂️ while sending something sad and borderline heartbreaking. It can be a picture, video, or even just a huge text message.
- If you're feeling low on a particular day or just having those irremovable Monday blues, text a close buddy about it and add the 🙍♂️ emoji for impact.
