Lying Face

The Lying Face at U+1F925 is an emoji depicting a face with an elongated Pinocchio-like nose, used to signal lying, exaggeration, or obvious dishonesty. It belongs to the Supplemental Symbols and Pictographs block and is categorized with emoticon-style facial expressions. In everyday messaging and social media, it most often marks a statement as false, sarcastic, or not to be trusted: “Sure, I totally forgot 🤥” can mean the speaker is admitting the excuse is fake. It is also used to call out someone else’s claim, especially when a story sounds suspicious, boastful, or hypocritical. The emoji frequently appears in political commentary, celebrity gossip, sports banter, and online arguments, where it functions like a compact accusation of “that’s a lie.” In lighter contexts, friends use it playfully for white lies, teasing, bluffing in games, or pretending to be innocent. Because the image references Pinocchio’s growing nose, its tone is usually more comic than formal. It can still feel pointed or accusatory, so in professional or sensitive conversations a direct phrase such as “that seems inaccurate” is often clearer.
