What does the loading emoji mean?

The universal symbol for when your brain is buffering in real-time.

When to use it

  • Indicating that your brain is currently buffering
  • Expressing frustration with slow internet connection speeds
  • Signaling that you are waiting for a reply
  • Showing confusion during a very awkward conversation
