Been there forever on signal and telegram?
seeing 🙏 as a high five and not a praying gesture makes it even more harsh
Wat?
Answering “thank you” to “I love you” is a polite way to deal with unwanted advances of another person. The reaction emoji under the message is commonly interpreted as “thank you”.
I’ve always been torn on whether it’s supposed to be a high five or praying hands. Is thank you really a common meaning?
Emojis are pretty hard for my autistic ass.
It’s even more confusing: Emojis were invented in Japan, which adds another layer of cultural differences. Holding your hands flat against each other is a common sign for prayer in Christianity, but in Japan it is a commen gesture for giving thanks. Hence the “official” meaning: Thank you
Commonly high fives arr given by the palms of the same hand therefore the thumb would’ve been visible at least on one of the hands if ot was a high five emoji
That’s supposed to mean “thank you”? I always thought it was a begging gesture.
RIP
(I’mma pray for you)
On most platforms you can type ’ pray’ and it will give this one: 🙏 for high five: ✋.
The other great ambiguity is hug/jazz hands. 🤗
I’m sorry your mom just died. *jazz hands*
