1. over time this might affect our collective consciousness in regards to the purpose & function of the eggplant; and

  2. can we please just get a straightforward penis emoji already?? Half the human population has a penis attached to their bodies anyway, why are we still so prude about incorporating actual penises into mainstream vernacular & daily life?

    Here’s an oddity … people use 🍆 “eggplant” for penis, and 🍑 “peach” for butt, but there doesn’t seem to be a general consensus on which emoji to use for vulva. Some options include:

    • Flowers such as 🌷 “tulip” or 🌹 “rose”
    • 🐚 “spiral shell”; compare South American Spanish concha
    • 🦪 “oyster”; which has a visible pearl (i.e. clitoris) on many systems
    • Food items whose names are used as slang for vulva, such as 🍯 “honey pot” or 🌮 “taco”
    • 👛 “purse”; compare the origin of the word “pussy” in English
    • Any of the various cat emoji, also for “pussy”

    (Really there are plenty of other options for penis as well, such as 🌽 “ear of corn” or 🕹 “joystick”, but folks seem to have settled on the eggplant.)

      I use the peach emoji to indicate pussy, and/or implied as any fleshy hole a man would want to penetrate.

        That’s what it meant back in the 90s. I was initially confused when people started using the emoji to mean butt.

          The peach emoji was added in Unicode 6.0 … which came out in 2010. How were you using it in the 1990s?

            I’m not talking about emoji. I’m talking about, well, talk. Words.

      I’ve seen plenty of people online use cat emojis for vagina.

      I’m old enough to remember when a peach was a vagina.

        Odd that they should represent either as peaches tend to be much less palatable.

      I’ve always thought the peach was for that.

        I think it was originally for that but thots started associating it with their butt
