speak-no-evil monkey 🙊 - OzVoca Emoji Details
speak-no-evil monkey
This is an emoji of a monkey covering its mouth with its hands. It's used to say "Oh my!" in surprise or "Oops!" when you've let a secret slip.
This monkey is one of the "three wise monkeys" and originally means "speak no evil." However, it's more commonly used to express the embarrassment of accidentally saying something you shouldn't have.
This emoji can be used wittily in two situations. One is when you're trying to cover up a slip of the tongue by playfully saying, "Oops, that was a secret!" The other is when starting a conversation with, "I'm only telling you this secret 🙊."
This emoji cutely conveys complex emotions like surprise, shyness, and secrecy. It softens awkward situations, like when you accidentally spoil a friend's surprise party plans. Using 🙉, 🙊, and 🙈 together can emphasize the meaning of a secret that "must not be seen, heard, or spoken."
