Tongue Emoji 👅

What 👅 means

A stuck-out pink tongue, but the color and overall design would vary across different platforms. This emoji suggests mockery, defiance, and even childishness.

The 👅 Tongue emoji signifies taste (duh) and gastronomy in a broader sense. However, this emoji also has a sexual connotation to it, denoting intimacy, romance, and coziness.

How and when to use it

If you just tasted some amazing food, or it's a distant memory you're recollecting with your buddies, use 👅 while talking about how delicious it is/was.
If you're planning on getting a tongue piercing or encouraging someone to get one, use 👅 in that context.
Remember the sexual side of this emoji? Well, you can use it in private (or group, no judgments) chats and with people your own personality and sexual wavelength.
👅 is also a way of blowing raspberries; acting kiddish, silly and goofy (but, you're not shielded from misinterpretations. So, ensure you hint what you mean).
If someone cooked something insanely appealing and you can't wait to hog all of it, use 👅 as a response to the picture, video, or link they send.

👅 in real conversations

What does 👅 mean from a girl?

Playful and food-obsessed on one side, suggestive on the other — “this ramen 👅” is a taste review, the same emoji dropped into a flirty DM is not about ramen at all.

What does 👅 mean from a guy?

In a flirty thread it's blunt innuendo with no subtlety intended; outside one it's plain goofiness, like sticking a tongue out at a bad joke or something he's excited to eat.

What does 👅 mean in texting?

It splits hard between two readings — genuine appetite when food is already part of the conversation, and something with zero food involved when it isn't. There's rarely a middle ground.
