Throughout history, humans have always found ways to communicate via encrypted messages, and the modern-day version of these ancient runes is the emoji.

For the younger generations, emojis are more popular that they have virtually replaced words in texts and social media posts. Some emoji meanings are simple, others have a secret double meaning that needs to be deciphered, while some are quite complicated.

Goat

You’d never guess this, but the goat stands for the acronym GOAT: Greatest of All Time. If you see this emoji in your social media feed, it means you’re being celebrated as the best in your field.

Octopus

It stands for cuddles and is basically a virtual hug, even though the sea creature is not terribly cuddly (despite its many tentacles).

Devil

It may not be the sexiest image, but this actually indicates that someone is in the mood to get frisky.

Dancing girl

The image of a fabulous woman performing in a long red dress does not signify the sender wants to hit up some salsa. It does, however, mean they want to party—hard.

Information Desk Lady

You’d think this would stand for Can I help you? but it’s actually used to express an exasperated “I don’t even know what to think anymore.”

WC

In real life, it’s not the sexiest of signs, but in emoji form, it’s been repurposed to mean woman crush.

Dashing Away

This emoji is supposed to indicate someone running so hard they leave a trail of smoke behind them, but it now often serves as a symbol for vaping.

Open hands

This emoji is supposed to represent openness or a hug, but it’s now often used as a reference to Red Bull, given its resemblance to the energy drink’s winged logo.

Eggplant

This is a stand-in for male genitalia and is often sent to illustrate the anticipation of a sexy time.

Peach

Another symbol for the human anatomy, it represents a derriere.
