00:00I have had experiences with the hands together emoji being misinterpreted. I always thought
00:17it looked like a high five, but there are some people who think of it as two hands coming
00:22together as prayer. I've never had anyone misinterpret the poop emoji, but I have had
00:29quite a few experiences where people thought that I was using the hands together emoji
00:35as like a prayer, but I was actually using it as a high five.
00:40So one of the emojis that I really find confusing almost all the time is the high five emoji.
00:46And to me it seems like a prayer emoji, and you would almost see all the people from Indian
00:52subcontinent, they would say Namaste like this, or they would hold their hands like
00:56this while they're praying. That's what it looks like from a prayer emoji. And one time
01:01I heard in the radio that some people actually are on the same side as mine where they feel
01:07like this is a prayer emoji, but also there are people who also feel like this is a high
01:12five emoji. So at that time I thought I was not the only one.
01:16Yeah, so emojis are funny and one should know how you use them. I had once sent this emoji
01:22to a friend to make him feel jealous, thinking that's an emoji for an ice cream.
01:28And it kind of backfired actually when I got to know what's the actual emoji for.
01:34So it was really, really embarrassing for me and it turned the other way around.
01:39This emoji when I'm showing is irritation.
01:45Thinking out loud or maybe just thinking about something, deep thoughts. That's all.
01:51For no way. If I'm asking someone for something, no way.
01:56Happy moments.
01:57I think I'll use it for waving hands like this.
02:02And if I use it, this is like I'm going to be smiling.
02:07And if I use it, I don't know. It's not a happy face, I guess.
02:14I'll use this emoji to wave whenever I say hi to a friend.
02:19And if I'm sad now, smiley, I'll use it.
02:22Then I'll do something like too sad or too smart and use sarcastic way.
02:29It's for high or high five.
02:32I will use it for like I'm stuck somewhere or I could not do anything.
