Back to blog What does eggplant emoji mean?
The eggplant emoji (🍆) is most commonly used as a suggestive symbol representing male genitalia. While it technically depicts a vegetable, it’s rarely used to actually discuss food. Due to its widely understood suggestive meaning, it’s generally considered inappropriate for professional or formal communication.
The emoji can be paired with other emojis. E.g. when used with the mouth emoji, it could mean oral sex, a peach emoji could mean sex, and a combination with sweat droplets could represent ejaculation.
Given its suggestive nature, many social media platforms and professional communication guidelines discourage or restrict its use to maintain appropriate content standards.
