Funny emojis
The emoji for laughing changed twice in a decade. 😂 was Oxford's word of the year in 2015, then became a marker of being old online, and 💀 took its place — followed by 😭, which now means laughing at least as often as crying.
The safest read: 😂 in a work chat, 💀 or 😭 with anyone under thirty, 🤣 if you genuinely mean it and do not care how it lands.
