🤓 Nerd Face
At Peak🧒Middle SchoolDefinition
The nerd face emoji (buck teeth, glasses). Used sarcastically to mock someone for being overly correct, pedantic, or trying too hard to sound smart. The 'well actually' emoji.
Translation for Parents
When your kid sends this, they're mocking someone (or you) for being a know-it-all. If you correct their grammar and they respond with '🤓,' they're saying 'okay nerd.' It's not mean-spirited usually, more like a playful eye-roll at someone being too serious or technical.
Examples
“"Actually it's whom" 🤓”
“Mocking someone for correcting grammar (implying they're a nerd for caring)”
“🤓☝️”
“You're being a 'well actually' person (raising finger to correct someone)”
Cringe Score
Mildly embarrassing
If you correct your kid's text and they send back 🤓, just accept the L. They got you. Responding with your own 🤓 would be a power move though.
