Dictionary, please

~ MaryG

What are your favorite emojis?

GenX are not digital natives and I don’t think we use emojis correctly a lot of the time, but personally, I like them. So could we please have a dictionary of their intended meanings? (Nevermind the hidden meanings)

My son played lacrosse for years, so it was exciting when they finally came out with 🥍 (no dictionary required)

But like what the heck is this supposed to be 🧫 ?

And what does this mean 🫡 ?

And why is there still no real marijuana emoji?? (Broccoli 🥦 is stupid.)

Also, our aging eyes are getting bad so it’s hard to actually make them out without very strong readers.

But my main complaint is the lack of a dictionary that goes with them. I want to be able to hold my finger on one and have words or a voice tell me what I’m looking at and what it’s supposed to mean.

So yeah, I’m clearly old.
