Sad, depressed, helplessness, disappointed, or the general “blah” or “ugh” feeling we have whether it’s because we spilt some coffee on our shirt and it’s only 10AM or we’ve just locked our keys in the car.  Slang for Feeling Down: 囧 囧 is said to be one of the most popular symbols of the 21st century. It became part of the news and even the movie and advertising industry.
