Using all of these...

Last week Apple did the whole world a favour and added hundreds of new emojis for us to play with. Clearly they knew we were all in need of some extra loving after the horrors of 2016.

Obviously, part of the fun of emojis is seeing how people use them in different ways. Some are obvious (scream face = shocked) but others acquire their meanings in seemingly random ways (moon = shady). It just takes one funny tweet or message for it's meaning to carry like wildfire across the internet. 

With that in mind, we thought we'd have a go at creating new meanings to the emojis...although we're much more interest to know how you have been using the new emojis. Let us know in the comments!
