wtf do the daffodils and chess pieces (pawns?) mean?

Daffodils seem to be being used as a sarcastic version of the Flowers icon on a few threads, in fact they're being used in a similar way to a Biscuit, is that right?

No idea what the chess pawn's about, is it to accuse posters of being mindless pawns? That one isn't on the MN site provided emoji selection but seems to be cropping up on various threads from different user names.

I’m glad someone asked, I was wondering if daffodil is the new biscuit.

I think the daffs are flowers in support of teachers on the many teacher bashing threads.

I may be wrong though, i also missed the memo
