WhatMoji

@rrhoover I never realized how bad my emoji language skills were until now 🍤

@rrhoover cool site, but I was hoping that it would be something more like Urban Dictionary with examples of use, not just definitions. A lot of times an emoji conveys a different meaning than what it actually is. For instance, the upside down face emoji 🙃 is used sarcastically. The 💯 can be used as a sign that you are proud of someone or just want to say "keep it 100 dude" or "dope." The 🍆 is a penis. The nail painting emoji 💅 means unbothered. You get the point. Language is an ever evolving thing and always will be, and I don't think that the emoji name and annotation on this site provides enough context to what an emoji can actually mean.

@rrhoover Bromoji is the future of bro communication though haha! Really neat app! Could of used this when we were making Bromoji.

@rrhoover @Nivo0o0 thanks for sharing this Emoji Dictionary - Emoji's are often seen as a funny add on to our communication, yet i believe they are a genius addition to how people talk with each other. Simple, works across cultures, transmits more than a thousand words... It's almost like you could talk to someone from across the planet with whom you share no language ability in emojis only. :D Also I feel like emotional language in texts helps people engage the entire brain - including creativity and emotional receptivity - it kind of elevates the spectrum of conversation!

@julianguderley @rrhoover exactly! they are definitely a universal language. Although I've recently encountered how they can actually be like speaking languages with how they show up in Android 🙄 https://twitter.com/Nivo0o0/stat...
