Today's blog is part of a series from Dictionary . Com that explain what new emojis mean so you'll know when you see them! Today we'll focus on: Upside Down Face, Slightly Smiling Face, Fire & Folded Hands
Upside-Down Face emoji 
The Upside-Down Face emoji often shows up alongside the Clown Face emoji 
. It too is often used (passive aggressively) to mean that someone is a failure or behaving foolishly. Alternatively, a person may use this emoji when they are overcome with disgust, frustration, or another strong emotion that has turned their world upside down.
Slightly Smiling Face emoji 
This unassuming emoji will lull you into a false sense of security. But—watch out!—younger users often use the Slightly Smiling Face emoji in a variety of ways. It can be used to represent a condescending or patronizing tone. It can represent sarcasm or, of course, passive aggression. Or it may mean a person is hiding pain or stress behind a weak smile. This emoji doesn’t look like anything special, but appearances can be deceiving.
Fire emoji 
Time to turn up the heat with the Fire emoji . People often use this emoji to say that something is awesome, cool, or hype. It can also refer to someone accomplishing something amazing (because they are “on fire”). Finally, it can also be used to describe someone who is really hot, as in attractive.
Folded Hands emoji 
The Folded Hands emoji is often used to represent prayer or someone hoping for good luck. At the same time, this emoji is also often used to mean “Thank you.” Interestingly, it is just one of many emoji that has this grateful double meaning associated with it.
