Skull shows a grey human skull, used for death, danger, or — most commonly in modern messaging — the slang expression "I am dead" from laughing too hard. This slang usage mirrors the Loudly Crying Face pattern, where a literally grim emoji has been repurposed for exaggerated amusement. It also appears in "dead" jokes and edgy humour.
