What Does the ???? Frog Emoji Mean?

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

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. “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. “Made some friends on my walk today ????????”

Alternative Meanings

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. 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.
