What does 🥴 Woozy Face emoji mean?
‘Scuse meeeeeeessssss, had have had you seen [hic] thith new emoji?

Where does 🥴 Woozy Face emoji come from?
Originally called “Face With Uneven Eyes and Wavy Mouth” in Unicode, this emoji entered the scene in 2018.
The woozy face emoji is our friend the yellow smiley emoji after getting hammered. The smile is replaced by a wavy, partially open mouth. One of its eyes are squished as if it’s half-winking or squinting. The emoji looks slightly different from platform to platform, but it always looks pretty wasted.

True to form, Twitter offered some super gross ideas. People speculated it’s the face you make when you are trying to push out a fart, when you burp and blow it out the side of your face, or when you have–or are about to have–diarrhea.

Megan Farokhmanesh of The Verge says it’s this emoji is a stand in for “the drunk weirdo at the bar.” She writes, “At 2AM, this is the emoji that will slide up next to you, try to make conversation, and promptly spill a beer in your hair.”
And then Miles Klee of Mel Magazine observed,”Woozy Face is me. It’s how I’ve appeared in roughly 80 percent (conservative estimate) of posed photos taken over the last decade.”
