Overused Emojis and Acronyms Face Extinction

The enraged face emoji (😡) and the acronym RIP top the list, perceived as exaggerated reactions and humorous clichés, respectively. User concerns about such overuse contribute to this trend.
- WTF ranks third, losing its shock value due to overexposure.
- Skull emoji (💀), used to express amusement or tiredness, is now seen as diluted in meaning.

Other disliked expressions include FOMO (fear of missing out), SMH (shaking my head), IKR (I know, right?), the thinking face emoji (🤔), and the snake emoji (🐍).
