What is 😝️ called?
😝️ is called the Squinting face with tongue emoji.
Often called the squinting tongue-out face, bleh face or yuck emoji. “Yuck” suits an unpleasant taste, while “bleh” can also express playful refusal or mock disgust.
What does 😝️ mean?
The squinting face with tongue emoji conveys energetic silliness, intense teasing, or a playful “bleh.” Both eyes are squeezed shut, making the tongue-out gesture feel more exaggerated than 😛 Face with tongue.
It can react to a prank, mock a minor annoyance, or show that someone is being deliberately ridiculous. 😆 Grinning squinting face has similar eyes but communicates laughter without sticking out its tongue.
The face may also accompany a strong taste, such as something very sour, spicy, or unpleasant, though joking remains its main conversational use.
Other meanings
It can mean “yuck,” playful defiance, mockery, or being overwhelmed by a flavour. Because the gesture can seem taunting, it works best in friendly and clearly unserious contexts.
Example Usage
You cannot make me eat the sprouts 😝
That lemon was much sharper than I expected 😝
