I can’t wait to get my hands on the next generation of shade-throwing emoji

New emoji Emojipedia is here to provide some idea of what they might look like. The site created mockups of 69 samples, including a few that will prove useful to anyone looking to spread a little playful disrespect.

Throwing shade with emoji requires a little creativity. You can go the obvious route with an eye rolling emoji, but that’s basic. The nail care emoji (a personal favorite) is a classic, yet subtle, dig. Still, what’s the best way to politely recommend someone just stop speaking? This little fella.

The “face with finger covering closed lips” emoji is perfect in its passive aggressiveness. It’s not mad at you. Notice the smirk. It’s just disappointed that you’re still speaking. Have you considered shutting up, for your own good?

Emojipedia also has mockups for two other emoji to raise your trash talk game: a giggling behind your hand — because there is no power move greater than laugh in someone’s face.

Anyway, now that’s settled, we can move on to the next big issue: Who’s hotter, Legolas emoji?
