Using emojis is an art. A good emoji starts a relationship, a bad emoji starts a fight. With the spread of messaging applications and social media platforms, emojis that have entered our lives have created a new form of communication that we have been looking for for years but could not find. In fact, many users have come to terms with their close friends only through emojis without using a single word.
When you take a look at the emojis on your keyboard, you will see more or less what they mean and you will use the one most suitable for conversation. What if we told you that these cute emojis actually have secondary meanings as well? Maybe a date you think is all right may be opening the door of separation secretly. Let’s take a closer look at the second meanings of the emojis we use frequently, which we would not have thought of for forty years.
Emoji meanings that we wouldn’t think of if we think for forty years:
Goat emoji – Greatest of All Time
Milk and dairy products themed The second meaning of the goat emoji we use in our conversations lies in its English equivalent. The English goat is referred to by the word goat. When we think of the word Goat as an expansion, we come across the phrase Greatest of All Time. If someone who listened to the song you suggested sent a goat emoji as a reply, you can be happy.
Snake emoji – Sneak
Snake represents sneakiness even in mythological stories. The use of snake emoji in this sense started with Taylor Swift. When Kanye West referenced Swift in his song Famous, fans were warned to be careful by flooding Taylor Swift’s Instagram page with snake emojis.
Lemon emoji – Deception
Lemon emoji, which gained its second meaning inspired by Beyoncé’s 2016 album Lemonade, means deception. So if person A cheats on their girlfriend with person B, you can use the lemon emoji for person B.
Octopus emoji – Hug
Octopuses are 8-armed, cute and extremely intelligent creatures. They can do many different things with their arms in the natural life, but when you send them as a cute emoji to your friend, those arms mean hug.
Smiling devil emoji – Nervousness
The purple laughing devil emoji is usually sent after malicious messages and does not create a very cold mood. However, I’m laughing, but look, it can also mean you’re running out of patience, and it can be a sign that the sender is going to cause a stir in the next message.
Knife emoji – I’m dying understand
If it’s not a conversation about food, the knife emoji is often used as an expression of anger. However, if you know that the person using it is depressed, unhappy and not very happy with what they are experiencing, Bihter Ziyagil’s immortal line can mean ‘if you know I’m dying’.
Hand emoji – Very low
Hand emoji is mostly used by women. Its first meaning is ‘I’m busy sweetie’. The second meaning is ‘after applying nail polish, I have as little free time as it needs to dry’. The third and most commonly used meaning is ‘very timbre’. Gentlemen, be careful.
Money with wings emoji – Money with wings
The money emoji with wings often means that a money transfer between two people has taken place. Sometimes it also tells that the person has made the necessary payment for any transaction. Another lesser known meaning is that the sender of the emoji means his money is precious and he is sad at the end of the payment.
Avocado emoji – Loser
Even if you are an avocado, you can’t make everyone love you. The avocado emoji means that a person is an ordinary, simple person who follows whatever is trendy. In other words, if your friend used avocado emoji for person A, he might have said, ‘oh dear, he is trying to do whatever he sees’.
Snowflake emoji – Responsiveness
Snowflakes, each of which has a unique beauty, do not have a very positive meaning when used as emoji. The snowflake emoji, which is generally used on Twitter, means that the person it is used with is too sensitive, fragile and touchy. Most often it is used for teenagers.
Clap emoji – Understand this now
In daily life, we applaud the things we like or the events we want to protest. The second meaning of the applause emoji is slightly different. Often used on Twitter in a passive-aggressive manner. If you share the sentence ‘no one can interfere in everyone’s life’ by adding a clap emoji after each word, it means ‘get it in your head’.
Syringe emoji – Tattoo
Currently, operating systems’ emoji keyboards and social media platforms do not offer an emoji that stands for tattoo. That’s why users use the syringe emoji to mean the needle used while tattooing. It might be a little irritating for those who don’t know as it’s a bloody emoji.
Bee emoji – Being a Beyoncé fan
Famous singer Beyoncé is referred to as Queen Bey in the internet world, and her fans, in other words, as Beyhive. English bee means bee. Beyoncé fans show themselves with the bee emoji. If you see a lot of bee emojis on the social media accounts of someone who has a bad relationship with Beyoncé, know that the fans are on the attack.
Pizza slice emoji – I love you
When you see a pizza slice emoji, everyone will naturally think of pizza and it will be understood that the person using it wants pizza. However, after a famous pizza brand used a pizza slice emoji instead of a heart to express love in its social media posts, the pizza slice emoji for many users means I love you.
Flame emoji – You’re on fire Fuat Abi
Those who often throw flames on their Instagram stories know, the first meaning of the flame emoji that comes to mind is that the person sent is attractive, cool and passionate. However, this may not always mean this. The flame emoji used when talking about something disliked can also mean ‘I hate that thing so much that I want it to burn down’. It’s a delicate point.
We talked about the second meanings of emojis that we frequently use in messaging applications and social media platforms, which we would not have thought for forty years. You can share your thoughts about these emojis and the second meanings of the emojis that are not on our list in the comments.
