What 🤥 means
The tone is usually light and teasing, not a serious accusation. People send it to call out a friend's obvious exaggeration, or about themselves to admit a small fib, as in "I'll sleep early tonight 🤥". It is stronger than 🤨, which only shows doubt, because it says the statement is false. In a real argument it can feel rude or dismissive, so the context matters. Many people also use it in self-mocking posts about diets, studying or being "fine" when they clearly are not.
In texting
Most often it means "that's not true" or "I don't believe you" in a joking way. When placed after your own statement, it means you know you are not telling the full truth.
In a relationship or crush chat
It is usually playful teasing, such as replying to "I wasn't thinking about you" with 🤥. If the chat is already tense, it can read as a real accusation of dishonesty.
Sarcastic use
People add it to statements everyone knows are false, like "I love Mondays 🤥". This marks the line as a joke.
