What 🧻 means

How and when to use it
- A toilet paper is used for cleaning after a big job. Metaphorically, if you're referring to cleaning something 'smelly, 'wasteful', something eliminatory, and maybe even forceful, you can use 🧻.
- Examples for the previous point: "You'll be the one wiping away all her dirty work, I'm warning ya 🧻", "Man. Your mind is so filthy I'm surprised you don't use one of these 🧻", or "Love is like a fart. If you have to force it, it's probably shit 🧻".
- Since 🧻 is the only emoji available for 'tissue', you can use it even while being considerate of someone's feelings. Like, "There's no use crying over him! Wipe those tears NOW 🧻" or "Here, buddy 🧻".
- Apart from the sole use-case in the bathroom, 🧻 may also represent a kitchen towel roll. So, while sharing content on cleaning one's kitchen, kitchen wipes, etc, you can use this emoji.
