  1. Pigs and piglets are pretty adorable! They love food, roll around in the mud, squeal with glee, and tend to make a big mess–and we love them for that! 🐷 is often used in an affectionate way to refer to someone with these kinds of characteristics. [1] Pigs are also chubby animals, so 🐷 is sometimes used jokingly to say someone is eating a lot.
    • My son just tasted chocolate for the first time! Such a little 🐷❤️
    • Erin is so cute and she loves her bottle! 🐷👶🍼 Can she sit up on her own yet?
  2. Pigs can be adorable, but they’re associated with a few not-so-cute characteristics, too, like being gluttonous, filthy, and lazy. Pigs are also heavy, so 🐷 could be used to say someone is overweight. You’ve probably heard phrases like “pigging out” (eating too much) and “hogging” something (keeping something for yourself), and 🐷 is a snarky way to say someone has these negative traits.
    • Your bedroom is a total pigsty! You need to clean this up ASAP 🐷
    • Omg I seriously cannot stop eating these chocolate chip cookies 🐷
    • Ugh, my brother has been laying around doing absolutely nothing 🐷

  3. The connection to money mostly stems from piggy banks, but sometimes people use in a more negative way to talk about money, banks, and corporate greed. [2]
    • Every cent goes into my piggy bank–I’ll have a PS5 by summer! 🐷🎮
    • Corporations do everything they can to keep us down! 💰🐷
  4. Grindr is a dating app for gay, bisexual, and transgender people (although most users agree that it’s more for hooking up rather than dating). If you happen to see 🐷 in a Grindr profile or message, it usually means the person is into uninhibited, dirty sex and they aren’t too picky about their partners.
  5. Some people may use 🐷 in a literal way to discuss anything pig-related, including pork or bacon. Since pigs are often raised on farms, 🐷 can also represent rural living and farm life. [3]
    • Did you see the video I sent earlier of the piglets?! 🐷 are so adorable.
    • Frying up some 🐷 tonight, so don’t be late! I know you love bacon.
    • I’m going to my aunt’s farm tomorrow and I can’t wait! 🐷🐮🐴🚜
