The 184 new emoji available in Apple's latest iOS, released to the public Wednesday, will allow iPhone users to text with a greater variety of nuance and expression than ever.

Of the new additions, some of the most useful will no doubt include the "Face With Rolling Eyes" (to convey disdain), the "Face With Thermometer" (to tell people you're sick) and the "Reversed Hand With Middle Finger Extended" (so you can tell your exes how you really feel about them without saying a word).
