What does 🤤 Drooling Face emoji mean?

Whether you desperately desire a delicious meal, a nice pair of shoes, or that cutie sitting across from you in the coffee shop, you might look like the drooling face emoji: 🤤.

This emoji is used to convey such lust and longing as well as naptime—a less sexy time to drool. People seen as stupid are sometimes mocked as slobbering and slack-jawed, so the emoji also sometimes gets used to call someone or something “idiotic.”

Who uses 🤤 Drooling Face emoji?

The most common use of the drooling face emoji by far is flirtatious. The emoji can be found most often in response to someone sexy, either in the caption of a photo or in the retelling of a hot story.

It’s not all about looks, either. You can drool over another person’s personality or the way they treat you with the drooling face emoji.

Thirsty much?

People drool in other situations, too, like when presented with a delicious meal or a beautiful clothing item. The drooling face emoji makes frequent appearances in captions of scrumptious food photos and other desirable items.

Some people use the drooling face emoji in a more lighthearted, cheeky way.

Don’t forget that daydreaming about a cute girl or sick kicks isn’t the only drool-inducing sleeping activity. People also drool during a deep nap or night of sleep, so you may see the drooling face emoji accompanying posts about people needing, or waking from, some quality rest.

The drooling face emoji does have a meaner side, though, with its strand of spit symbolizing stupidity for some.
