What
What does the What emoji mean?
The ultimate expression of awkward side-eye and pretending you didn't see anything.
This is the iconic 'Monkey Puppet' meme, originating from a Japanese children's show called 'ลkiku naru Ko'. It has become a staple of internet culture, used to convey intense discomfort, guilt, or the desire to avoid a conversation. In Discord, it is the go-to reaction when someone says something questionable or when you are trying to act innocent.
When to use it
- Reacting to someone saying something extremely awkward
- Pretending you did not see a controversial message
- Expressing guilt after being caught doing something
- Avoiding eye contact during a heated argument
