face screaming in fear
face screaming in fear meaning
The Munch face: hands clasped to a pale, hollow-eyed head, mouth open in a scream. Though nominally terror, it is now overwhelmingly used for comic overreaction — mortification, shock, or the theatrical horror of a minor inconvenience. It is one of the most reliably ironic faces in the set.

Though nominally terror, it is now overwhelmingly used for comic overreaction — mortification, shock, or the theatrical horror of a minor inconvenience. It is one of the most reliably ironic faces in the set. Genuine fear is better carried by 😨; this one has become the emoji of being dramatically, enjoyably appalled.
