🥓
What 🥓 means
A pair of brown bacon strips with a couple of curved lines running along the strips in the existing curvy design. The 🥓 Bacon emoji refers to pork meat which is ready to fry/cook and gobble.
How and when to use it
- If you had bacon and eggs for breakfast after a hellishly long time or just after the previous day and you're either making a social media story out of it or responding to that "What's for breakfast?" text, you can use 🥓 in those contexts.
- Post H1N1, bacon came to be known as a slang word for swine flu, although it's sad to use 🥓 in such a framework, it still fits.
- Bacon is largely known as pork belly meat, but it can be used for other meat such as beef. So, you can use 🥓 in differing meaty contexts as well.
- You can use 🥓 while posting pictures or videos of bacon; either of you making bacon for the first time (or the millionth time), a new recipe you invented, or even a repost of an absolutely mouth-watering bacon video that you came across.
