From a Guy — From a guy stranger
What does 🦐 mean from a guy you don't know?
From a stranger, a 🦐 is a wild card. It could be them trying to make a niche joke or just being generally weird. Context is everything here; if it's in a gaming chat, it might be a reaction to a specific moment. If it’s a random DM, it’s probably a red flag of trying to be too unique too fast, giving off 'pick me' vibes or just being kinda creepy.

From your crush
He sent it? He's probably trying to be subtly funny or share a niche internet moment that he thinks aligns with your vibe. It’s a low-key, playful move to signal a shared sense of humor or an inside joke. Don't read too much into it romantically, but it's a good indicator he sees you as someone he can be playfully unhinged with, which is a green flag for connection.
