Mistakes while we type fast on either phone or laptop creep in often and are fixed without making a big deal of it. But trust creative Twitter users to start a new trend with nothing but the mistakes that people make while sending multiple emojis. The trend, it turns out, has proved to be quite hilarious.

With the text “When you accidentally type”, social media users are conversing about a common error when one among the many emojis is different, and are replacing the odd emoji with a photo emoting the same emotion. The result: a meme fest providing comic relief on our timelines.

The trend originally began among K-pop fans who created a video montage of their favourite star showing various emotions, which slowly morphed into a four-photo template where usually the third emoji was different from the rest. Instead of a smiling face with tear emoji as the third emoji, netizens used a photo from popular culture.
