Detailed Introduction
The 🤥 emoji, commonly known as the lying face, is used to convey deception, dishonesty, or mischief. It features a cartoonish face with a finger placed over the mouth, often associated with the classic portrayal of liars having long noses. This emoji is popular in casual digital communication to imply someone is not telling the truth or is hiding something. It can also be used humorously or playfully when someone wants to keep a secret or tease others.
