😏 (smirk emoji)

I understand it has an ‘ulterior’ meaning? Is that correct?

I thought it was a smug face?

user7469322 · 08/07/2018 17:54

That’s what I thought Pickleypickles, but I’m told its got a hidden meaning and I’m trying to work out what the hell that is!

It's used like 'if you know what I mean'. It tends to be sexual.

@percheron67

Aubergine is a black mans willy. Banana is a white mans willy.

There are real meanings and fake ones. But if you send this to your DP even a Luddite would understand

Its basically an innuendo emoji, it means theres a sexual meaning to what you've said a bit like a wink. Its like the equivalent of raising your eyebrows or winking
The aubergine generally just means willy

percheron67 · 08/07/2018 18:26

Amazingly Grace. …Thank you. It just had to be I who asked that one!! Didn't know there were naughty emojis. My daughter told me last week that BMW is black man's willy. Cannot believe I have actually typed that!

henpeckedinchief · 08/07/2018 18:27

Sexy smirk. Like you might do after a particularly good double entendre
