Talk to the hand— a verifiable classic! But ALSO the left and right option makes this emoji a primo choice for enacting high fives across the wi-fi waves. It’s another way to mime connection in our ever-isolating world.

I’m a sassy texter, and when I do use emojis, I like them to convey that sassiness. The pushing hand feels like the spiritual successor to the judgmental finger in that it breaks the fourth wall of texting. I sincerely apologize in advance to my loved ones who will have to deal with me using the “pushing hand” on a daily basis to mean “I need you to stop speaking.”
