dashing away

Definitions & examples

Represents speed, motion, or something disappearing fast—like “zoom!” or “gone in a flash.” It’s often used for running late, escaping awkwardness, or showing dramatic exits.

  • You realize you forgot your wallet right before checkout.

    brb sprinting back home 💨

General

Used for movement (running, rushing, leaving quickly) or humorously for “I’m outta here” moments. It can also express sighs or exhaustion when paired with 😮‍💨 or 😩.

Cross-cultural

In Japanese chats and manga, 💨 (called “ダッシュマーク”) often represents running, sudden departure, or someone zooming away—it’s a common comic effect in scenes of escape or chase. Sometimes it’s also used jokingly for things like “fleeing embarrassment” or even “flatulence” jokes depending on tone.

Heads-up

💨 can be misunderstood in English slang as a smoke or vaping symbol (“blew smoke 💨”). When you mean running or leaving, add context like 🏃‍♂️ or “gotta go 💨” to keep it clear.
