Apple's green coloring is particularly vivid and immediate – the nausea reads in less than a second. Google renders it with similar green saturation. Samsung keeps the green while going slightly softer on the overall expression. In allergy and food intolerance communities, this is a frequently used practical emoji – communicating that something has made you physically ill with a level of specificity that "I don't feel well" lacks. The distinction between nauseated-face and face-vomiting matters: the former is the warning, the latter is the event. Sending nauseated-face gives people a chance to sympathize before the situation escalates; face-vomiting is the escalation. In commentary on bad design, poor decisions, or cringe content, nauseated-face is the more common choice because it's disgusted without being as graphically extreme.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
