A yellow face with a literal zipper across its mouth, lips zipped shut. Means "I'm not saying anything", "my lips are sealed", "I'll keep your secret".

A yellow face with one finger pressed against its lips in the universal "shh" gesture. Means "be quiet", "don't tell anyone", "this is a secret". Used when gossip is being shared, when keeping a surprise quiet, or — sarcastically — when telling someone to stop talking. Reads playful, not hostile. Common in surprise-party planning and secret-relationship contexts.
A yellow face with eyes wide and one hand covering its mouth, mid-gasp. Means "I shouldn't laugh but I am", quiet shock, juicy-gossip reaction, or "I can't believe you just said that". Reads coy, scandalised-but-amused. Common in reactions to gossip, accidentally rude jokes and "did they really say that?" moments. Stronger than 😮 because the hand suggests trying to hold back.
A yellow face with eyes closed and tongue licking around its lips. Means delicious, "this is so good", or — in flirty contexts — physical attraction (the "I want to eat them up" sense). Used in food posts, restaurant recommendations and recipe captions for the literal meaning, and in DMs / thirst comments for the flirty meaning. Context decides; the food read is dominant.
A yellow face with closed eyes and a small open mouth, with a 💤 floating above. Means literally asleep, exhausted, "going to bed now", or — in dismissive contexts — "this is so boring I'm falling asleep". Common in goodnight messages, "couldn't stay awake" recaps and reactions to dull content. Reads warmer than 💤 alone because of the face.
