What does the 🐸 (frog) emoji mean in texting?

1
The 🐸 represents gleeful, mischievous happiness. In several versions of the 🐸 emoji (like Apple, Samsung, and Google), the frog looks like it’s making a big, goofy grin. Many emoji enthusiasts use this smiling frog to represent a happy, mischievous moment of their own.
- “Ate the last Pop-Tart for breakfast 🐸”
- “My nasty co-worker is quitting and switching jobs!! 🐸”

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 🐸 sometimes represents a literal frog. Nowadays, this smiling amphibian doesn’t usually represent its namesake—but it can on occasion! If a friend or loved one is sending you frog-related content, the 🐸 emoji might be included to keep the text or post on theme.[2]
- “Made some friends on my walk today 🐸🐸”

1
Share how happy you are with a cheerful 🐸. There are plenty of happy emojis out there, but few are as happy, silly, and cheerful as the classic frog. Drop a couple into your next text or social media post to let the world know what a good mood you’re in.
- “Woke up and my cold is finally gone 🐸🐸”
- “I tricked him into saying he likes me LOL 🐸”
- “Feeling some good vibes today 🐸”

Drop some shade by pairing the 🐸 and ☕ emojis together. Hot takes are meant to be shared, and there’s no better way to get them out there than with the iconic 🐸 and ☕ duo. Then, wait and see how many people share your “unpopular” opinion.
- “Maybe people shouldn’t talk about issues that don’t affect them 🐸☕”
- “Don’t complain about being lonely when you never make time for other people 🐸 ☕”

Send a 👀 emoji if a friend just spilled some tea. The 👀 emoji is a great way to share how intrigued you are, lets your friend know that they have your full attention.

You: “👀👀👀 what’s happening??”

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.
