What is 💀️ called?
💀️ is called the Skull emoji.
Also called the death emoji, skull face, or dead emoji. In slang it often means “I am dead” from laughter or disbelief rather than literal death.
What does 💀️ mean?
💀 literally represents a human skull and therefore death, mortality, danger, bones, or something macabre. It appears frequently in Halloween, horror, anatomy, and pirate-themed conversation.
In internet slang, “I am dead” means something is extremely funny, shocking, embarrassing, or impressive, so 💀 often functions as a laughter reaction. That figurative use does not necessarily refer to actual harm.
Other meanings
Dying of laughter, speechless disbelief, a deadpan reaction, severe embarrassment, danger, mortality, or a spooky aesthetic.
Example Usage
That perfectly timed reply absolutely finished me 💀
The old tunnel was decorated with skulls 💀
