face with peeking eye

Definitions & examples

Used when you’re nervous or embarrassed but still curious about what’s happening. It shows a mix of fear and fascination, like “I can’t look—okay maybe just a little.” Playful and self-aware.

  • Your friend texts you saying they finally confessed to their crush, and you’re dying to know how it went but also bracing for possible chaos.

    Wait—what did they say?? 👀🫣

Heads-up

Some people might read 🫣 as pure fear or shock instead of playful tension. In flirty or joking chats, it works fine—but in serious contexts (like workplace or sad news), it can feel tone-deaf.
