What does the SideEye emoji mean?

The ultimate reaction for when you are trying to act like you did not see anything.

This iconic image, known as 'Awkward Look Monkey,' originates from the Japanese children's show 'Ōkiku naru Ko.' It has become a staple of internet culture, perfectly capturing the feeling of being caught in an uncomfortable situation or trying to avoid eye contact after a blunder. In Discord, it is the go-to reaction for awkward silences, suspicious behavior, or when someone says something incredibly questionable.

When to use it

  • Reacting to someone saying something very awkward
  • Avoiding eye contact after making a mistake
  • Showing suspicion when someone is acting weird
  • Ignoring a question you do not want answered
