To use a wow emote, click into your main chat command window or just hit the slash / key. With focus on your main window you can begin by typing the slash command / Then followed by the emote you want to use.
To call someone a chicken, target them and type in /chicken and the text will turn orange as the defualt colour to signify an emote. When you hit the “return key” the emote will execute and all around you will see it.
All WoW emotes are executed on the command line can can be made into a simpe macro and then a shortcut button for speedy access during combat or just one that you may use a lot. Unfortunately since Blizzard removed automation commands (due to farming) on the macro page you can no longer que up commands that would include a spell, then a pause (or wait commands as it used to be) and then your emote. You can however have up to 255 characters to try and achieve what you need.
Blizzard are always updating the commands list so if you think we have missed one or two WoW emotes please drop a comment below

How to Use a WoW Emotes in a Short Macro
- /sleep
- /say time for a nap
- /em DND, Sleeping
This would be the effect of that macro, along with the sleeping animation. The first line creates the sleeping animation, second line makes yoy character say “time for a nap” and the last adds a personal emote using /em DND, (Do Not Disturb) Sleeping.
If you wish to make your own WoW emotes you can use the /em command with any combination of text you like. This will not have any sound or graphic animation unless you add an additional emote to enchance yours followed by what ever text you wish.
- /cry
- /em misses EverQuest!
Your personal emote /em will also start with your characters name to show others that its you crying.
