What does 👎 mean from a girl or a boy?
From a girl: Blunt disapproval, and usually a deliberate one. Unlike 👍, this emoji has no polite reading — if she sends it, she means it.
From a boy: Same. Occasionally used jokingly between friends to rate something badly, but it still lands as harsh.
Widely considered one of the rudest common emojis. Avoid it in professional chats.
