Bacon
Freakin’ finally! The emoji gods have answered out prayers, finally deigning to gift us this highly coveted breakfast food in icon form. These two innocuous squiggles of bacon-y goodness bring joy to our hearts, which goes well with our high cholesterol. The uses for this emoji are nearly endless – “Want to get brekkie? *bacon emoji*”, “Know what I could go for right now? *bacon emoji*”, “I’m so hungover I can’t deal. *bacon emoji*”. See? Endless.

Avocado
Another popular breakfast staple has arrived, and this one is perfectly ripe. Avocados are a no brainer when it comes to emoji usefulness – not only can you now perfectly caption your Instagram #brunch pics (your flat lay will totally cop extra likes), but you can also put out a call to all of your pals when you are in the mood for a tasty avo on toast. Pair it with a bacon emoji for the best results, we may need to submit a request for a fetta emoji.

Face Palm
A face palm says so much more than you think. Just spilled your coffee all over yourself in front of the cute barista? Tell your friends all about it with a succinct face palm emoji. Wishing you hadn’t caved and bought that greasey late-night kebab after gym? Let a face palm tell the tale! Did your mate blow his Tinder date by talking non-stop about his new car and/or cat? Convey your sympathy/resigned frustration with a face palm. This emoji can help you smooth over your little regrets and mistakes, but just don’t send it to your boss when they ask why you are late for work. That’s a true face palm moment.

Vom Face
Dealing with everything on social media can be nauseating work – there are a lot of heinous news articles and pictures that pop up in our news feeds. Also, with the advent of Tinder, sometimes you need a quick way to convey disgust without wasting too much personal time. The vom face is a cute little green emoji that says just enough when the act of talking might make you actually vom – use it instead of “That’s gross, dude”, “Don’t ever use that pick-up line again”, “That meal looks disgusting”, and “I hate coriander”.

Shakas
This one is a personal favourite. A thumbs up doesn’t cut it anymore – if you want to say something is ‘rad’ or ‘on point’ then a quick flick of the wrist in a shaka motion is the perfect way to do so. The official description of this emoji is that it’s supposed to convey a ‘call me’ sentiment, but the emoji gods are kidding themselves if they think that’s gonna stick. That’s a shaka, without a doubt. Flood the inboxes of your mates with hundreds of shakas to convey enthusiasm for just about anything. Shaka season is upon us and the weather is good!
