🙄 Meaning

🙄 rolls its eyes upward. It expresses annoyance, boredom or disbelief, much like the real gesture.

People send it when someone says something obvious, repeats an old joke or makes an excuse nobody believes. Among friends it's often affectionate teasing rather than real anger. In more serious conversations it can come across as dismissive, so it's better used with people who know your sense of humor.

Examples

  • Whatever you say 🙄
  • He's late again, of course 🙄
  • Yes, Mom, I'm wearing a jacket 🙄
  • Oh sure, you were "just about to call" 🙄
  • Another meeting that could have been an email 🙄
