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.”
Where does 🤤 Drooling Face emoji come from?
2016 was a big year for the drooling face emoji. That year, the emoji was approved under Unicode 9.0.
Across platforms, saliva is pouring out of the emoji’s mouth as the rest of the face looks relaxed with contentment or gobsmacked with lusty longing. This represents the metaphor of drooling over something, like Homer Simpson hungering for a donut.
