🫡 — 'o7', the salute, as an emoji: for acknowledging an order you will follow, a friend's decision you respect, or a message you have read and will not answer. The record's entry for the emoji that replaced 'ok'.
Correction to the headnote: Saluting Face was not coined, it was noticed. Someone said it, someone else screenshotted it, and the screenshot is the coinage.
A manager's entire reply to a resignation: 🫡. The record notes this was, in context, the kindest possible response and also the funniest.
The headnote reads like an autopsy. Adding, for balance: at its peak in 2022, Saluting Face was genuinely useful — it did a job no existing word did, and it did it in under a second.
It is dead. Say something true about it.
