What does the skull emoji mean?

The ultimate reaction for when you are literally dying of laughter or embarrassment.

The skull emoji is a staple of modern internet slang, frequently used to signify that something is so funny it is 'killing' the user. It has largely replaced the laughing-crying emoji among younger generations to express deadpan humor or extreme shock in Discord and Slack conversations.

When to use it

  • Reacting to an incredibly funny meme post
  • Expressing disbelief at a ridiculous chat message
  • Showing mock despair over a minor inconvenience
  • Signaling that you are laughing uncontrollably hard
