Being Sassy Online Using The Smirking Face Emoji

In a world where most things get done online, one fun way to get your sass on is through emojis. Yes, the emoji universe has a ton of symbols to describe those mike drop, hair flick moments! One such symbol is the 😏 Smirk emoji or 😏 Smirking Face emoji—a face with a half-smile raised in a smirk, with raised eyebrows and eyes looking to the side; it’s used to express being smug or sly.

For example, if you sent in a report ahead of time, and people thought you couldn’t do it, but you’re feeling proud that you did, you can say: Boom! Finished that report three days in advance 😏

Fun, right? Now that we’re done with that, before we go any further, let’s first define what sass means. You can’t be something if you don’t know what it is, right?

 

How Do You Know If You Are A Sassy Girl?

According to yourdictionary.com, the definition of sassy is someone or something lively, bold, and feisty. Sassy also means quick-witted or clever.

When you’re a sassy chick, you don’t blend with the crowd. You don’t go with the flow; you create the flow. Sassy girls own who they are and aren’t apologetic about it.

Many women aspire to be sassy, and it takes a lot of courage to do that. If you want to be sassy, but you don’t have the courage to do it, we’re here for you! Begin with sassy emojis, then work your way up to doing things in person.

The emoji represents a person at an information desk or concierge holding out her hand like a waitress carrying a tray of food and drinks.

Another definition: this one is the more sassy version. The 💁‍♀️ Woman Tipping Hand emoji can also be used to throw shade or say “I told you so” to another person.

For example, if you told a friend that another friend would be late, and they didn’t believe you, but it turned out you were right, you can place the 💁‍♀️ Woman Tipping Hand emoji at the beginning or end of your sentence to put more emphasis on what you’re trying to stay.

Example: We should have left the house earlier. I knew that there would be a ton of traffic in the city 💁‍♀️

Like the 😏 Smirking Face emoji, the 🙄 Face With Rolling Eyes emoji features a feisty gesture, the popular eye roll!

People use this emoji when they say something but mean the opposite of what they say. It is used to criticize someone or something in a funny way.

How? Well, the 🤔 Thinking Face emoji is also used to show a pause in a conversation, to show that you’re still thinking if you’re interested in what the other person is saying and whether you’ll pay attention to them.

Flirting can become an awkward thing to do if you don’t have many flirting questions to ask. Sometimes, symbols are more effective than words because they are more quickly interpreted and overcome language barriers.

Expressionless Face Emoji

Expressionless Smiley, Expressionless Face, Deadpan Face, Deadpan Smiley

If you’re in a savage mood, you don’t have to be loud about it. Sometimes silence is a more powerful communicator than noise. That being said, at first glance, the 😑 Expressionless Face emoji looks harmless compared to the 😏 Smirking Face emoji, or even the 🤔 Thinking Face emoji. That isn’t true, though.

A smiley with a straight, shut mouth and serious-looking eyes, the 😑 Expressionless Face emoji is used to show tiredness and annoyance. It has a strongly negative connotation and is used to express being impatient over someone or something.

On top of all that, the 😑 Expressionless Face emoji is a sassy symbol, too, in a passive-aggressive way. Which, come to think of it, can have an even louder impact than a “noisier” emoji.

Example: Someone asks, hey, can I call you? We haven’t dissected the second part of my date yet! Then you reply with… 😑

To sum it all up, let’s get one thing straight – mean and sassy don’t mean the same thing. Some people might have that connotation, but it is absolutely wrong. Sass takes class and separates the woman from the girl. Sassy women are assertive and full of quick comebacks, but they never go below the belt. They have a calculated approach to what they will say and how they’re supposed to act.

Contrarily, bullies act irrationally and impulsively. When things don’t go their way, they blurt hurtful remarks out of anger and spite. They live and breathe drama, and when they have grudges, they keep it in their heart forever. Meanwhile, sassy girls express themselves but don’t keep it in.

As you unleash your sass and inner badass, be it through emojis like the 😏 Smirk emoji, or via real-life situations, let’s try not to cross over to mean girl territory. Releasing your power doesn’t mean decreasing the power of others. We all live in the same world, after all.

At the end of it all, what goes around, comes around.
