  • Mostly used to indicate laughing very hard (dying of laughter). If John says, "My uncle passed away," and Jack reacts with a skull emoji, it's very rude. However, if John makes a joke and Jack reacts with a skull emoji, it just means Jack thinks the joke is very funny. This definition is mostly used by teenagers and young adults.

  • Means, 'Bro, what the heck are you saying exactly? You're so ugly.' 💀

  • Sometimes used in Gen Z language to mean "No way!" or, as Jack put it, "dying of laughter."

  • It can mean dying of laughter.

  • Feeling sad every day.

  • The skull-and-crossbones emoji resembles the Jolly Roger (pirate flag), but they shouldn't be confused with each other.
