Meaning
A pale blue-topped face with wide eyes and an open mouth — fear, dread and alarm. It covers genuine fright as well as the everyday anxieties of a looming deadline or a difficult conversation. It is one of the more literal faces in the set and is rarely ironic, so it reads as an honest admission of nerves. It suits the moment before something you are dreading, rather than the aftermath.
How to use it
- My presentation is in ten minutes 😨
- There was something moving in the garden 😨
- I have to tell her tonight 😨
