face with crossed-out eyes 😵 - OzVoca Emoji Details
face with crossed-out eyes
This emoji with X's for eyes is used when you're very dizzy or sick. It's a facial expression often seen when a cartoon character faints.
It's used not only when you're physically sick, but also when you're so tired you feel out of it. It can also express the feeling of your mind going blank from a big shock.
It can be used to exaggerate a state of 'burnout' from being completely exhausted by excessive work or study. It's also appropriate when you're overwhelmed by a situation that is too absurd or unbelievable.
It originates from the visual trope often seen in cartoons and video games when a character is defeated or knocked out. Unlike 🤯 (Exploding Head), which represents mental shock, 😵 better conveys extreme physical fatigue or a near-fainting state.
