    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?

    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 🐷

    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).

    • Frying up some 🐷 tonight, so don’t be late! I know you love bacon.
