What the woozy face 🥴 emoji means
🥴 is the woozy face: uneven eyes, a wavy mouth, one eyebrow raised, the look of someone who has had three drinks or no sleep. It is the emoji for drunk, tipsy, high, dazed or overwhelmed, and it doubles as a flirt — the “I’m a mess for you” face — which is why “🥴 meaning from a guy” is such a common question. Added in Emoji 11.0 (2018), it quickly became a favourite because it reads as endearingly out of it rather than sick. For real dizziness use 😵💫 face with spiral eyes; for pure chaos 🤪 zany face.
