🥵 heet gezicht
Betekenis
A flushed, sweating face with tongue out — used for scorching heat, spicy food, or intense exercise. In English it also doubles as a compliment, since 'hot' means both overheated and attractive.
Trefwoorden: beroerte, gezicht, heet, hijgen, hitte, koortsig, rood gezicht, sterven, tong, zweten
💡 Wist je dat?
Added in Unicode 11.0 in 2018, the flushed face, droopy tongue, and sweat drops were designed to capture heat exhaustion — but English slang turned 'hot' into a compliment, making this emoji pull double duty as 'you're ridiculously attractive.'
💡 Wist je dat?
In English, 🥵 often means 'so impressive or attractive it's overwhelming,' but to someone unfamiliar with the slang it just reads as a complaint about the room temperature — a classic emoji misread across language lines.
Zo wordt hij wereldwijd gebruikt
Japan
Mainly used for summer heat, heatstroke risk, or spicy food. The 'hot = attractive' slang isn't widely established in Japan, so it's almost always read as a literal heat reaction.
United States
Because 'hot' means attractive in English, replying with 🥵🔥 on someone's photo is a standard compliment meaning they're incredibly good-looking.
