What does ๐ Eggplant mean?
A glossy purple eggplant, also called aubergine. In the kitchen it means baba ghanoush, moussaka, eggplant parmesan and roasted vegetables. Online, though, it is far better known as a phallic symbol and is one of the most widely understood innuendo emojis, used in flirty or adult messages. Because of that reputation, many people add context or skip it entirely when they really just mean the vegetable.
๐ Eggplant is an emoji from the Food & Drink category (vegetables), added in Emoji 0.6 in 2010. People use it in messages about aubergine and vegetable.
