The ๐ฝ emoji is a slang term for p*rnography. On TikTok, words like โp*rnโ and โp*rnographyโ are blacklisted, and no type of adult content is allowed on the platform. To get around these rules, users often caption their posts with the ๐ฝ emoji when discussing adult content.[2]
- โWhat type of ๐ฝ is your favorite?โ
- โWhen your faveโs new ๐ฝ๐ฝ dropsโ
- The ๐ฝ emoji might be used to represent adult content on other social media platforms, but itโs most well-known for its TikTok popularity.

The ๐ฝ emoji can also represent male genitalia. The ๐ emoji is definitely the most popular representation of a certain male body part, but itโs not the only one. The ๐ฝ emojiโs distinct shape also works well for sexting purposesโso, if your text conversation starts heading in a spicier direction, you can read between the lines when the ๐ฝ emoji pops up.[3]

Use the ๐ฝ emoji to discuss adult films and media on TikTok. Drop a ๐ฝ in the caption of your post to start a conversation with your fellow ๐ฝ-y TikTok users. By using the ๐ฝ emoji, you can chat to your heartโs content without being flagged or banned by the platform.[4] You could try making posts with captions like:
- โ๐ฝ Stereotypesโ
- โWhat they donโt actually tell you about ๐ฝ๐ฝโ

Surprise your partner with a spicy text. Tired of the same old ๐ and ๐ dominating your emoji vocabulary? Switch things by sending a ๐ฝ emoji instead. Donโt worryโyour partner will still get the hint.

Reply if youโre comfortable with the person who sent the emoji. Nowadays, emojis like the ๐ฝ and ๐ rarely refer to their respective foods and almost always carry some sort of sexual tone. (Seriously, whenโs the last time you saw ๐ refer to an eggplant parmigiana?) If you get a ๐ฝ-y message from your partner, feel free to send back a spicy message in return.
- โ๐๐๐โ
- โExcited for tonight ๐โ

Ignore and block the message if it makes you feel uncomfortable. You arenโt obligated to acknowledge or reply to any unwanted advances, including ones made with emojis. Leave any unsolicited ๐ฝ emojis on read, and feel free to block the number so they canโt contact you anymore.

The ๐ฝ can be a derogatory label for political centrism in America. Around the American 2016 election, Twitter users started politically representing themselves with specific emojis. The ๐ฝ eventually joined the trend, becoming a negative term for political centrists.[5] If you see this emoji pop up in a political convo, the original poster is probably poking fun at a centrist politician or commentator.
