🫣 Peeking Face
Stable🌍UniversalDefinition
Face with one eye peeking through fingers. Expresses 'I can't look but I can't look away,' embarrassed curiosity, secondhand cringe, or 'I'm scared to ask but...' energy.
Translation for Parents
Think of covering your eyes during a scary movie but peeking through your fingers. That's this emoji. Your kid uses it when something is so awkward or embarrassing they can barely look, but they're also fascinated. 'Did you see what she posted 🫣' means 'that was so cringe but I watched the whole thing.'
Examples
“His DM to her leaked 🫣”
“His private message to her was made public and it's embarrassingly cringe”
“Checking my grade after that exam 🫣”
“I'm nervously checking my grade expecting the worst”
Cringe Score
Mildly embarrassing
Great emoji for parents to use when their kid tells them something mildly shocking. 'You have a date? 🫣' is actually solid parent texting.
