What does the timeout emoji mean?

When the wait is just too long and you're running out of patience.

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
