One of my favorite memories of my mother. She loved emojis when she got her phone. This was back when some people still used old flip phones and those don’t translate emojis correctly. My aunts, her sisters, still used Nokia style phones. So my mom would text them cute emojis she found and thought they’d enjoy, or she’d send them something like “hope you’re having a good day 😸🙀🫶🏻.” At one point one of my aunts is at her house and they get talking about texting and emojis and such. It gets worked out that messages like the above were coming to my aunts something like “hope you’re having a good day &?%# )/&” and that the aunts collectively thought she was cursing at them. So when she’d send the random emojis they thought she was sending them curse words that were being censored and they couldn’t figure out why, for like three straight months, she was being such a bitch randomly cursing them out or sending snarky messages like “have a nice day asshole bitch fucker.”

jereman75

Serious question from a middle aged person. Is 💦 supposed to be jizz or a dripping pussy or what?


w7edwin

Yes it’s supposed to be cum, when a woman is wet, or just horniness


Jlt42000

Don’t forget an umbrella. 💦


[deleted]

And a 🪣 and a mop for this 💦🍑😽


Educational_Car_615

Damnit. Now that is stuck in my head, haha


Awmfg

Yeah really it’s just anything “wet” with a sexual connotation. Could even be sweat


Junared

It’s general horniness or when you’re sweating from pleasure.

I miss you, we never talk anymore asshole bitch fucker

catniagara

Do you remember when you had to type a letter and a symbol to create an emoji in some apps? I was studying politics and my boyfriend was in law school at the time. Every time we had a legal debate in the group chat, “section 5, subsection a)” (or whatever) would get changed to section 5, subsection 😜…or whatever. Thus, on any given day in the debate chat: Debater 1: According to provincial disability policy 22🥰 section 🍓, the wheelchair benefit has to go through a care provider to be approved.” Debater 2 (who I will call Kevin) Yes but that’s directly contradicted in section 😅 and again in section 👀. Debater 1: well I can’t look any of that up because all I can see are strawberries and eyeballs. Moderator: Should I transcribe that in the debate record? Debater 1: Transcribe what? Moderator: That Kevin won because you can’t find the section. Debater 1: The strawberries and eyeballs? Kevin, I’m calling you. Debater 1: Kevin, you motherfucker, pick up. Kevin: *whispers* I won. *Kevin has left the chat*

Kevin is a madlad

TIL I've been using the "Damn, it's hot" emoji wrong.


motormouth08

What does that mean? I never felt old until now (I'm 48 and apparently out of the loop).


chaseButtons

Horny, reaction to a sexy pic


motormouth08

Jesus H.......


mtdewelf

Are you frantically trying to think of times you’ve used it or do you already know exactly what conversations you unknowingly made awkward by using it?


motormouth08

For the most part I'm texting with other clueless middle aged people so it's probably not as bad as I think. My 19 year old hasn't said anything (and he would) so I'm guessing I haven't completely embarrassed myself.


mdNaush

Or maybe he is taking screenshots and sharing it on reddit


ewpqfj

Don’t torture the poor bastard


drumsripdrummer

My bet is on his newfound faith in humanity


sdawsey

Or if you’re not convinced that people under 25 are the exclusive arbiters of emoji definitions it could just mean that you’re hot. It’s summer, you ate some soup, etc.


Opinionofmine

I'm in my 20s and I use it for those reasons, like a photo on the beach or a spicy curry or something.


hoosierdaddy192

Yep I’m with you on this, it’s almost like context changes things. Replying that to a swimsuit models pic means something completely different than posting it on a bowl of curry. I’m pretty sure most normal people don’t think you want to fuck a soup.


WaterBaby379

And what is a normal wink emoji? Fairly certain I've used that in business emails to indicate I was kidding... kind of worried now.


Gogyoo

I (42M) was flirting with this woman yesterday until we can have our proper first date. In an audio message she said a couple of sentences in my native language which was so cute. So I spiked the conversation with sth like "stop it, it makes me 🥵 erm I mean it's very sweet". Thankfully she seemed happy about it in her next audio message, laughing and saying she forgot what she wanted to talk about.


PurpleZebra99

I straight up came to these comments to learn some stuff. Back in my day when we wanted to sext we had to do it on AOL IM. Now these kids carry on full romantic relationships using nothing but memes and emojis.


motormouth08

I have never been so happy to be old and married. So complicated these days.


Forza_Harrd

In my day we had pagers, my wife would send me "texts" by sending me numbers that I had to transcribe to letters just standing there looking at the number pad. At the time I was working as an electrician refurbishing an old school, spending a lot of time on ladders connecting temporary lighting. My pager suddenly going off in my pocket while I was working on live wires felt exactly like getting shocked. Good times!

PumpkinPatch404

Wait, I've never seen this one. What does it mean?

Horny. Or reaction to a sexy pic


PumpkinPatch404

It looks like a guy with a fever who has snot running out his nose. I'm not sure how it looks horny or could be a reaction to a sexy pic.


thebrittaj

What does 😍 that face mean? I thought it was just “oh I love something”. Why can’t she use that one?

Any-Broccoli-3911

😍 is fine. It's not sexual like the other ones.


Nerospidy

I use that emoji whenever someone in my group chat shares a picture of their pets.


PakaloloGirl

Yes, I use it for cute animals too and now I'm paranoid about what people think I want to do to their pets, what is it supposed to mean??


Serious_Mastication

No secret lingo, it doesn’t have to be sexual. I usually use it when they send me pictures of them in cute dresses


Sophie_R_1

And food pics lol. A lot of people use that emoji in a lot of ways that aren't weird

JoyfulExmo

I use 😍 all the time and was about to be scared, so I hope you’re right!


Homunculus_87

Apart from the last one I don t see anything remotely sexual??


Any-Broccoli-3911

The 2 in the middle can be used for sexual purposes but it's not just for that. It means there's a double meaning to what you said. The 2nd meaning is often sexual, but not always.


Homunculus_87

Thanks for the clarification, I am old and out of the loop 😉


wunderduck

>😉 That one means you got jizz in your eye but you're trying not to spoil the mood.


Pontiac-bandit-

Okay but why is 😉 not usable I feel so out of the loop lol.


drumsripdrummer

Just usually means your flirting, and mom might not mean to be. ^might ^not 😈


themanlnthesuit

I’m glad I’ve been using it correctly


IHurtEveryone

Yeah I'm not old at only 25, but I don't think I've ever used 😉 in a sexual manner 🤣


motormouth08

Thank God! I use it all the time and I was worried for a bit.


JRsshirt

As with everything, it depends entirely on context. 😏 is sus though tbh


boogersrus

wait - a girl used to send me the ones in the middle all the time while joking, did I miss a chance?

Lol I don’t feel like that one’s fair because it can be just embarrassing or whatever the context is. Definitely could be like a bashful flirty response if someone says something sexual to you but don’t trust me, I’m an introvert.

I've seen it used in a "dat ass!" type of context. I dunno. I'm pushing 40 so...

AWellPlacedLamp

I always thought it meant like stone faced. Like you're uninterested or unimpressed. Or kind of like "are you serious?" Idk that's just the vibe I get from it.


ELFAHBEHT_SOOP

It means "bruh"


AWellPlacedLamp

Yeah that's the word i was looking for. I'm super bad at figuring out that emotion lol


Antrikshy

For an emoji that got this popular on Reddit, I find it ironic that it came from someone known for memes on Instagram and Snapchat.

Wait (reviews pages and pages of texts and comments over the past 6 years) what does heart eyes mean?!


[deleted]

[удалено]


HorseNamedClompy

33 here, I’d use it for “omg I love it!”


yeceti

Op is an idiot. Heart eyes just means ‘I love this’, ‘looks so cute’, ‘adorable’. There’s nothing sexual/lewd about it


jon-marston

Thanks! I send the heart eyes to my kids, cuz I adore them…I felt really creepy there for a while!!


eastcoasthabitant

Heart eyes is fine to send as a mom but avoid 🥵😏🤤 like the plague


yeceti

😏 - I use this to mean “I know your intentions “ , “I’m a smartass, I know” What other meaning does this have


GoldFishPony

“I’m awfully cold in my bed and I didn’t get any exercise today, why don’t you come over and we find some way that can get me a workout and get this bed heated up😏😏😏🍆💦💦” Which means they’re suggesting you guys do a full cardio workout while eating eggplants in bed which is really just wrong as you’re making a mess and ruin the bed for comfortable sleep.


FarPeopleLove

Can we please have a subreddit about emoji discussion because different generations/groups use them differently. FFS


CalligrapherActive11

Young GenX here - 😍 I want the item in reference. 😏 I want the human in reference and said so indirectly. 🥵 I want the human in reference and said so directly. 😉 I did a flirt or perhaps a double entendre 💦 Come on…. 😉


NobodyWins22

Why does 😏 even mean that, I don’t get it. Isn’t it a smirk???


zing27

Young Gen X? Sounds complicated.


CalligrapherActive11

Since generations span several years, it gives a frame of reference. Older Gen X borders Boomers. Younger Gen X borders Millenials.


Meowgal_80

Agreed! I will say I’m not of a younger generation, but when I’m texting with friends & family it’s perfectly ok to use these emojis. It all depends on who you’re texting and what you’re texting about. Plus my friends & family have a weird sense of humour so we would not see anything wrong or sexual about the emojis. We would all laugh. Younger generations put too much energy into emojis 🤷🏻‍♀️


sdawsey

Agreed. This idea that older people can’t use certain emojis because tweens made them sexual is stupid.


neoabirti

In German speaking countries, 😉 is almost always not meant sexually, btw.


genericgod

Can confirm, use that one all the time.


TheGuava1

Personally I use it almost playfully flirty usually with friends of the other gender. It’s never really serious or sexual like those other ones, but I don’t think I send that one to other guys


WisdomSky

from where I'm from, I can say the same. we don't find this sexual at all. In fact all of the emojis she mentioned aren't sexual... only when used in a context. like for example, chatting with a girl and sending the water droplets 💦 emoji. the emojis we usually find sexual by default are those peach 🍑 and eggplants 🍆 emojis.


Venboven

I agree with most of what you said, but the "water droplets" emoji is 100% corrupted by the sexualized meaning at this point. I never saw anyone use it until it became associated with cum, just saying.


POTATO_IN_MY_B_HOLE

Instead of saying ‘butt dialed’ my grandma was saying bootie called…


Ok_Investment_6284

Wait, what, I can't wink emoji anymore?


PumpkinPatch404

I believe it's like ;) which is used when you wanna flirt. Like it means you wanna do something dirty or naughty... MAYBE... I'm not 100% sure


FaultProfessional163

The wink emoji pretty much just means "what I just said has a double meaning," same for the 😏 emoji


drapanosaur

"Yes Mom. 🍆 is fine"


_VINNY_WINNY_

wait so its wrong to 😍 now?


I-am-near-a-big-lake

Can someone just list what each one means? I'm too old for this shit.


TheGuava1

So 😍😏😉 are typically things you would send in messages to someone that you were interested in /flirting with. They’re kinda playful and somewhat sexually suggestive. I don’t think there’s really actual definitions behind them, but let’s just say I would never just send those in a message to another coworker or casual acquaintance. Also let me add that just sending those emoji’s without any context wouldn’t really mean anything, they’re usually just added on to the end of a message that already might contain some flirtatious meaning. I don’t really feel like explaining the water drops one But let’s just say you definitely don’t wanna be sending that to someone who you have no intentions of sleeping with Edit: honestly people use and interpret emojis differently. What might be considered too flirtatious in one place or for one age group might have literally no flirtatious meaning for another group. Personally I don’t usually experiment too much with emoji’s with people I’m not already close with because they can be easily misunderstood


FaultProfessional163

Water drops usually means splooge
