An emoji used to insult someone online if they say something stupid, obnoxious or overly sensitive. This emoji is used to refer to someone as a special type of nerd: Not the supposed "smart kid" from high school or someone knowledgeable/academic, but rather the self-proclaimed genius who was the teacher's pet in high school. This breed think they are much smarter than they actually are, and it results in obnoxious behaviours such as correcting people's grammar in tiktok comments and then acting like superior beings, fact-checking edited comedy videos that are obviously edited, crying in the comment section when they see a joke they don't like, and thinking they are geniuses because they can answer easy math problems on social media such as "x + 2 = 4, find x". Example 1 below is a real example of 🤓 found online.
Dunning Kruger type nerd: They only call me smart when they can break down what I said
Normal person: 🤓
Dunning Kruger type nerd: Wouldn't expect you to understand Normal person: 🤓
Example 2
*Instagram post shows math problem for middle schoolers*
"2x + 4 = 6"
Dunning Kruger type nerd (who has completed high school): x = 1 bozos so easy lmao
Normal person: 🤓
In Gen Z the 🤓 represents that you are a loser or you just said something cringe or nerdy they are actually a form of a pick me person, they use "memes" in the past unironically.
