🤡 Clown
Stable🌍UniversalDefinition
Used to call someone (often yourself) a fool or a clown for making a dumb decision. 'Putting on the clown makeup' means you knew better but did it anyway. Often used in the context of relationships: going back to an ex, trusting someone who's untrustworthy, etc.
Translation for Parents
If your kid sends this about themselves, they're admitting they did something dumb. If they send it about someone else, they're calling that person foolish. Think of it as a self-deprecating 'I'm an idiot.'
Examples
“me texting them back 🤡”
“I know I shouldn't have responded but I did it anyway like a fool”
“believed them again 🤡🤡🤡”
“I trusted someone I shouldn't have, and I feel stupid about it”
Cringe Score
Mildly embarrassing
Fairly safe for parent use, especially if you're doing something dumb and you know it. Self-awareness is never cringe.
