timeout
What does the timeout emoji mean?
When the wait is just too long and you're running out of patience.
This hourglass emoji is the ultimate shorthand for when a process, download, or conversation is taking forever. It is frequently used in Discord servers to signal that someone is AFK, a game is loading, or a user is waiting for a response from a slow-moving admin or friend. The simple, flat design makes it a versatile tool for expressing impatience or the passage of time in any chat environment.
When to use it
- Signaling that a game is currently loading
- Expressing impatience for a slow response time
- Indicating that a user is temporarily away
- Highlighting a long wait for important news
