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
