Topic:<\/h3>\n
The lifecycle of covert\/hidden meanings of emojis. How image association creates new subcultures.<\/div>\n
From my research:<\/div>\n
\u25e6A lot of emojis have apparent visual meanings. For example, the noodle emoji could mean noodles, it can also mean send nudes (noods), an expression of interest in another person, or an invitation to have a conversation.<\/div>\n
\u25e6The sub-meanings or \u201chidden\u201d meanings typically originate through social media, then gradually become part of an emojis meaning, like the eggplant emoji meaning either eggplant or penis.<\/div>\n
\u25e6Most of these are context and platform specific and users of certain emojis may not use a particular emoji with a particular person because of the association around that emoji within a particular subculture or group. For example, someone who typically uses the brain emoji to mean oral sex wouldn\u2019t send that emoji to a parent even if the context for sending that emoji might not be sexual at all.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

Questions:<\/h3>\n
\u25e6How do groups assign meaning to emojis?<\/div>\n
\u25e6In general, very interesting to explore how word associations come about and the expansion of emoji meanings given the vastness of language and human communication relative to the size of the emoji dictionary.<\/div>\n
