Edges curling like a cartoon trap, a dark pit sits waiting in the ground below whoever's about to fall in. It's the emoji for wanting the ground to swallow you whole after something mortifying happens, and for falling down an internet rabbit hole — one innocent link leading to three hours gone.
What 🕳️ means
A 3D kind of a black hole in the ground. This emoji would vary in colour, design and finishing across different platforms. It can signify a golf cup, a black hole, a ditch in the ground, or just a void.
As the name suggests, the 🕳️ Hole emoji suggests a hole, but this can suggest more than just a hole. A gap, a bit of emptiness, vacancy, and even a bottomless pit may be some of the other suggestions.
How and when to use it
- Use 🕳️ in its obvious sense, of explaining about a mysterious hole in your house (relax, its just the rats).
- 🕳️ can also be used to show vulnerability and goofiness at the same time (trust us, there's a lot of deep talks that can come out of 🕳️ emoji).
- Perfect for 3 AM texts when you're opening up to someone you can finally trust and telling them about a void or emptiness in your life.
- 🕳️ can also be used to signify the black hole. Use it while talking about space and stuff, you know, the sleepless 2 AM nights.
- If you're flaunting your first ace at the golf club, use 🕳️ emoji. You can also use 🕳️ emoji just while talking about golf, even if you didn't play.
