About This Quiz
What would life be without idioms? Boring, that's what. And idioms have been made even more fun and interesting now that emojis have been invented. Now before we get into the meat of the matter, let's discuss the difference between emojis and emoticons, so that you don't get confused. Emoticons are made up of a combination of punctuation marks, numbers and letters that form an emotion or feeling. For example, :) these two signs make a smiley face. Emojis, on the other hand, literally means "picture characters." It's what we use on our social media platforms and direct messaging apps and programs.Â
It's easy enough to send a smile to someone, but can you send messages in emoji? Can you decipher some of the most commonly spoken phrases if we show you a series of these picture characters? You may think that it's difficult, but it's not once you get the hang of it. Are you ready to prove to us that you can keep up with the millennials and generation z by deciphering these phrases? Or do you need to go back to the drawing board and learn what each emoji means? The only way to find out is to take this quiz.Â
