What does the 💀 skull emoji mean?

The 💀 skull emoji rarely means anything dark or morbid in modern chat. On TikTok, Discord and group chats it is shorthand for "I'm dying of laughter" — a replacement for the older 😂. If a friend says something hilarious, a single 💀 or a string like 💀💀💀 means they've made you laugh so hard you've "died".

Other uses:

• 😭💀 — laughing & crying at the same meme
• 💀🙏 — "rest in peace" to a past self, joke, or plan
• 💀🗿 — stoic/no-comment reaction
