What does 🪭 mean from a guy?
For guys, this emoji often carries a similar dramatic or "tea" connotation, but it can also be used ironically to express being "overwhelmed" by something ridiculous or hilariously dramatic. Sometimes it's a way to acknowledge something is "hot" or "spicy" without being explicitly sexual, or just to join in on the group chat's collective gasp at some wild content.
