People and body part emojis
🤓 Nerd face
The nerd face emoji is a smiling yellow face wearing black glasses, with the eyes open. Some platforms show the face without teeth, others have rabbit-like teeth, braces, or a mouth full of straight white teeth. Some nerd faces have broken glasses that have been taped together.
The nerd face emoji can mean different things depending on the conversation or social media post, but it is mostly positive, lighthearted and fun. Use this emoji to show that you are studying hard, got good grades, or when you’re calling someone a ‘nerd’ for doing those things. The nerd emoji can also mean that you know a lot about something, you’re sharing random facts others don’t know, or you’re someone who follows the rules (you’re not a rebel). You can also use this nerd emoji to let people know you got glasses.
A nerd is usually someone who’s very smart but can be socially awkward.
Here’s an example of a nerd emoji in a message:
Nerd friend you love: Did you know it’s illegal to buy Coca-Cola in Cuba?
You respond: 🤓

😐 Neutral face
The neutral face emoji is a yellow face with two dots for open eyes and a straight line for a mouth.
When you’re neutral, you don’t have any strong feelings about something or you aren’t getting involved. You’re neither happy nor sad, or for or against something. Using the neutral face emoji sends the message that you don’t have an opinion on the topic. This neutral face can also mean that you aren’t very impressed by something or you’re bored. If someone jokes with you or insults you in a joke, send this face to show them that you’re not impressed with their joke but you are actually laughing inside knowing it’s a pretty good joke.
Here’s how to use the neutral face emoji in a message when someone teases you:
You: I just got home and see I’ve had dog poop on my shoe all day.
Friend: Well, I’m sure everyone stayed away from you as usual…
You: 😐

👃 Nose
This emoji is simply a nose. It comes in different skin colors, including light 👃🏻, medium-light 👃🏼, medium 👃🏽, medium-dark 👃🏾, and dark 👃🏿. People usually use the skin tone that most closely matches their own skin color when using this emoji or they use the original color 👃.
The nose emoji refers to anything about a nose: If you’re sick and have a runny nose, use the nose emoji. If you’re talking about your nose, then use the nose emoji. And if you smell something good or bad, like a yummy meal or a smelly sewer, then you guessed it – use the nose emoji!
You can always add another emoji to let the person know what you’re talking about. For example, a nose and burger means you can smell a good burger and you’re craving it 👃🍔. If you want to let people know you have a booger, then use the nose emoji and a poop face like this: 👃💩. If it’s something you love, mix the nose with a heart emoji – find out what all the heart colors mean in my blog post by clicking HERE.
That’s the beauty of emojis – pictures speak a thousand words.

This emoji means nails, manicures, beauty, self care, and ‘I don’t care’. Use this emoji when you’ve had a manicure, need a manicure, you’ve painted your nails, or you’re having a spa day. It’s also one to use when talking about beauty and fashion.

Once you’ve nested all the dolls, you have one wooden doll with all the smaller dolls inside it.

But this emoji can also mean a ‘secret’ because if you don’t know there are other dolls inside the large doll, you’ll never find them. Many children and adults like to play with dolls or collect them, so the nesting dolls can also refer to a collection of something or a bunch of toys.
