Wat?
Answering "thank you" to "I love you" is a polite way to deal with unwanted advances of another person. The reaction emoji under the message is commonly interpreted as "thank you".
You love me? I'll pray for you
That seems worse than "thank you"
Life goes downhill sometimes
But whatsapp has had reactions forever
still don't get it
The "murder weapon" likely refers to the hurt feelings of the person making the advance.
I've always been torn on whether it's supposed to be a high five or praying hands. Is thank you really a common meaning?
Emojis are pretty hard for my autistic ass.
It's even more confusing: Emojis were invented in Japan, which adds another layer of cultural differences. Holding your hands flat against each other is a common sign for prayer in Christianity, but in Japan it is a commen gesture for giving thanks. Hence the "official" meaning: Thank you
The official name of the emoji is simply "folded hand". It was part of Unicode 6.0, released in 2010, codepoint U+1F64F. It's on page 11 on the original proposal: https://www.unicode.org/L2/L2009/09026r-emoji-proposed.pdf
I guess they deliberately named it to the neutral "folded hand" so asian people can use as thank you, while westerners as pray
Commonly high fives arr given by the palms of the same hand therefore the thumb would've been visible at least on one of the hands if ot was a high five emoji
So this is how I find out I've also been doing high fives wrong half the time ;_;
🥺🙏 you can submit a high five emoji idea here, but I haven't checked if there is actually a high five emoji or whether or not it has already been submitted https://www.unicode.org/emoji/proposals.html
Language is versatile, as long as people understand which you mean, feel free to use it in whatever way works for you 🤷♂️
....is that not what the 👍 is for? Or is that too obvious a 'cool, now fuck off' response?
That's supposed to mean "thank you"? I always thought it was a begging gesture.
Depends on culture I guess.
I use it as either high five or thank you. It's usually obvious to my interlocutor because they know my feelings towards religion
