👀 Eyes
Stable🌍UniversalDefinition
The tea-spilling, drama-watching, 'I see what's happening' emoji. Used when there's gossip, drama, or something suspicious going on. Sending just '👀' is the emoji equivalent of slowly turning to look at someone with raised eyebrows.
Translation for Parents
This means 'ooh, drama!' or 'I noticed something interesting.' If your kid responds with just the eyes emoji, they're paying close attention to some developing situation. Probably social drama. Don't ask, they won't tell you.
Examples
“did you see what she posted 👀”
“Did you see what she posted? There's drama and I want to discuss it.”
“👀👀👀”
“This is very interesting / suspicious / dramatic”
Cringe Score
Mildly embarrassing
Very safe for parents. Drop a 👀 in the family group chat when someone says something interesting. You'll seem plugged in. Probably.
