Common Misunderstandings of 🤮

Overly graphic for some contexts

Its graphic nature might be too strong for some sensitive conversations or audiences.

Tip: Consider the audience and context. For milder disgust, 🤔 or 🤢 might be more appropriate.

Misinterpreting as just physical illness

While it literally depicts vomiting, its metaphorical use for disgust is very common.

Tip: If you mean physical illness, clarify with words like "feeling sick." If it's disgust, the emoji often speaks for itself.
