ZZZ meaning
Three blue Z characters rising in sequence — the comic-strip shorthand for sleep, snoring or boredom. It signals going to bed, being asleep, or dozing off. It also carries a pointed secondary use: attached to something tedious, it says the thing is so boring it has put you to sleep.
Meaning
Three blue Z characters rising in sequence — the comic-strip shorthand for sleep, snoring or boredom. It signals going to bed, being asleep, or dozing off. It also carries a pointed secondary use: attached to something tedious, it says the thing is so boring it has put you to sleep. That double meaning makes it both a gentle goodnight and a quiet insult, depending entirely on where you put it.
