What ๐Ÿง‘โ€โš–๏ธ means

A person in robes with the โš–๏ธ scales of justice, standing for a judge, a court, or the law. In casual chat it often means judging someone, in a playful way.

Legal news, jury duty and law school posts use it straight. Among friends it delivers a mock verdict: โ€œthe court finds you guilty of eating my fries ๐Ÿง‘โ€โš–๏ธโ€. It also softens a confession, as in โ€œno judgment, butโ€ฆโ€.

Facts
