Increasingly popular and always more innovative over the years, smileys have become (or almost) essential symbols in our text messages. Considered a universal language, emojis facilitate the transmission of our emotions and our points of view on a situation in the texts. However, an emoji can have multiple meanings. Indeed, this can depend on the interlocutor, the framework in which we discuss, that is to say the platform or the social network, etc., but also according to the generation. Those born between 1984 and 1996 have a different way of using and meaning emojis than those who are called Generation Z (those who are part of those born between 1997 and 2010).
Smiling upside down face emoji
Like the smiley face upright, this smiley is one of the most classic, with the only particularity that it is upside down. It belongs to the category of smileys with a happy or smiled face. Depending on the situation and the context, it can have several meanings. Generally speaking, this emoji demonstrates a state of tempered joy.
Upside down to relate a comic situation of diversion
In certain discussions and depending on the interlocutor, the upside-down smiley with a smiling face can, in fact, be used to entertain, or even distract. It can also relate a comic fact and thus approach the image of a clown or someone who relates an idiot.
Provocation, sarcasm and irony
The fact that this emoji is reversed can relate a rather provocative fact with an offbeat dimension. Inversion can also be translated as sarcasm and irony to joy in the face of a situation, information or statement. Taunt or chamber are words that translate this upside-down face smiley. On the other hand, it can support a fact as if to show that we are right, that we are in a better position during a debate, or that we have the last word.
Resignation
Unlike the victory and the situation of strength that we want to show in some cases, this smiley can just as well express resignation. It can therefore show a certain acceptance such as: “that's life! ", " it's like that ! ", " there's nothing we can do about it ! ", etc.
A multiple use
It happens that in a single message, the smiley comes up two, three or more times. Why ? This is done to support, accentuate the expression, what you feel and want to bring out.
It is possible that the flipped head emoji is associated with other smileys. The panel is wide, the choice depends only on what the person wishes to express. This emoji is recognized by several names:
- Upside-down face smiley;
