Meaning and use
As seen in Pinocchio in the cartoon and children's book with his way of lying and how it got on his nose, this emoji features an expression of lying, deceit, and boastfulness displayed by his appearance. In this sense, the user by using it shows the other that his lies are obvious and stupid. They can be found in the comments of stories that are too unusual, too much show, or badly retouched photos, as well as in confessions of lies that have been told in the past, but rarely.
In messaging, the lying face smiley can be useful to respond to a conversation where the other is telling a joke or other type of lie, when we are not interested enough in what he is portraying, from where we send him the emoticon so that he is aware that we no longer want to continue discussing him and that we want to change the subject. In this case, it is more often used with close people or even those who know us better.
Example of use
"You lie very badly, can't you see 🤥?"
The lying face smiley is generally a tool that one can use as a proof of understanding of the reality or the truth hidden behind a lie or an exaggeration. It is also one of the means of avoiding a conversation that one wishes to put on ice. It's one of the emojis that has had an increasing level of popularity over the past five years.
