This is “Tears of Joy” imoji??? I always thought it looks like someone who is laughing so hard, tears are coming out of his eyes. Those are two different things and I don’t think those are just years of joys. Obviously the mouth is wise open from cracking up.; that makes more sense and why it is so popular. I always use it when something is very funny.

Up here in Canada I'd say it's that stupid thumbs up that's most popular. I hate it so I installed a tweak to disable it :)

“Tears of Joy?” I thought that was “laughing hysterically.” That’s how I and everyone I’ve seen use it.
