What ๐Ÿ‘ฝ means

A gray alien head: extraterrestrials, UFOs or something otherworldly.

Used for sci-fi, space and UFO jokes, and to call something weird. It also shows feeling out of place, like the only stranger at a party, or a strange, out-of-this-world vibe. Some people use it to mean they are acting odd on purpose.
