ID boxed in purple is shorthand for identification, the badge check at a door, the request to see one at a bar, or a username on a game or forum. In chat it doubles as a fast 'who is this' or 'prove it,' no explanation needed beyond the two letters.
What π means
An 'I' and a 'D' (both capital letters) printed in white on a glossy purple square with rounded edges. The π ID Button emoji could be interpreted as evidence; ID (Identity Document), proof of existence, identity, or even a theoretical part of the consciousness.
How and when to use it
- While highlighting the strict (or lenient) requirement for an identity document in any context, welcome the
- π. Like, "Sorry, man. I don't think you can enter without an ID π", "Mandatory π entry for all entrees" or "Don't forget your π card!".
- An ID proof not only checks out your identity and existence, but it's also the product of various governmental procedures, thus, adding credibility to your existence. For instance, "I'm a verified tourist guide π" or "Do you even have a license? π".
- Coming to the Freudian "level of consciousness", you can use π while referring to the primal instincts of a human, or anything that's innate and inborn for anyone or anything in particular. For example, "Geez. It's like gluttony made his basic existence π" or "I desire for a lot of things, and your opinion isn't on the list π".
- You may even use π while speaking of 'identifying' with something or someone - "I strongly identify with veganism π" or "I love their vibe. I can totally relate and identify with them! π".
