You have been using these 5 emojis wrong

Emojis have changed the way we communicate, allowing us to easily express emotions that words cannot portray. However, there are some emojis that not even top rated Kobadoo players know the true meaning for. These are the five most misunderstood emojis.

1)

It is called pinched fingers emoji, however its original meaning is asking “what do you want?”. In Italy, this gesture is generally used to show disbelief, frustration or disagreement. In India, it is used to ask if a person is hungry. In Arab countries, it can represent slow, wait and patience or be used in a threatening way. Flipped upside down, the pinched fingers emoji universally represents a pinch of salt.

2)

Most people use this emoji as a shooting star. However, this emoji represents in reality that a person is dizzy (seeing stars) when hit in the head.

3) 

You might use it as sticking out the tongue, but this emoji is meant to represent licking lips in appetite or contentment.

4)  


She is not showing an "O" or holding her head as most people think. Instead, this emoji actually represents gesturing "OK".

5)

This emoji might be used to represent the devil, but this is actually an ogre from Japanese folklore.

The only flag of the world that is shredded by design

If you have played Kobadoo Flags you might have seen some extravagant flags with colourful designs, but you might not have seen before a flag made of separate strips of cloth. This is the case of the flag of Zamora , a beautiful province in the North West of Spain close to the border with Portugal. This flag is not only truly original, but as well one of the oldest in the world. It is composed of a green strip and eight red strips , all of them detached from each other. The red ones represent the eight victories obtained by the legendary warrior Viriathus against the Romans in the 2nd century BC. The green strip was a reward from King Ferdinand II of Aragon  in recognition of the aid provided in the battle of Toro in 1476. Source: common.wikimedia.org

The world's only non-rectangular national flag

There are no written rules about what a national flag should look like. That is why we can observe truly original designs with different number of stripes, colours and additional elements. However, all of them share one characteristic: they have a rectangular shape . Well, actually not all of them. There is a sovereign country whose flag doesn't follow the pattern: Nepal . If you have played Kobadoo Flags before you are probably familiar with it. This beautiful flag is a combination of two pennons used in the past by rival branches of the ruling dynasty . The red colour is a  symbol of bravery  of Nepali people and it is also the colour of Nepal's national flower: rhododendron . The blue border represents   peace and   harmony. The crescent moon on the top pennon symbolizes the coldness near Himalayas and the pure spirit of Nepali people; whereas the sun represents the heat of the southern provinces and the  fierceness of the locals.
