    The 🐸 emoji can also accompany a shady remark. Several years back, a picture of Kermit the frog drinking a cup of tea became the iconic “But That’s None of My Business” meme. Users would make shady, judgmental remarks accompanied by the tea-drinking Kermit to get their point across. As the meme evolved, people started using the frog and hot beverage emojis to convey the same energy.[1]
    • “She shouldn’t complain about being tired when stayed up all night playing video games…but that’s none of my business 🐸☕”

    The 🐸 can be a shorthand way of saying “I don’t find you attractive.” If 😈, 😉, and 😏 are considered flirty emojis, think of the 🐸 as an anti-flirting emoji. If you’re in the middle of a flirty text exchange and you get a 🐸 in reply, there’s a good chance that sparks aren’t really flying between the 2 of you.[3] Try not to worry, though—those type of people aren’t worth your time, and there are plenty of others out there who will love spending time with you.
    • Some people compare the 🐸 to the frog prince fairy tale when the prince was trapped in the form of a frog.
