-''':yaw:''' (rhymes with "aww") is an emoji used in some parts of the [[quizbowl Discord]] community, though it is more common in the [[Science Bowl]] and Earth Science Olympiad communities.
-The emoji appears to depict a low-quality parody of the :joy: (laughing-crying) emoji, with a more-open mouth, an unusual eye expression, and an angry-looking V-shaped unibrow. It is frequently used to express feelings of frustration, disappointment, or moroseness—often in an ironic or humorous manner. It can also be used as a replacement for the actual :joy: emoji, signifying one's genuine laughter (though often in a mocking manner towards what is being laughed at).
-Many Discord servers also have a horizontally-flipped version of the emoji, called ''':way:''' People often combine the two emojis into a single expression—they may also omit the colons, replacing the emojis with the textual phrase "yaw way" (which invokes the similar-sounding name of the deity Yahweh, intentionally or otherwise). The USESO Discord server has another variant called ''':yawchain:''' which consists of many alternating :yaw: and :way: faces strung together in a row.
