🐷 (Pig Face) Emoji Meanings & Uses

  1. Step 1 The 🐷 (pig face) emoji can be used to say something or someone is cute.
    Pigs and piglets are pretty adorable! They love food, roll around in the mud, squeal with glee, and tend to make a big mess–and we love them for that! 🐷 is often used in an affectionate way to refer to someone with these kinds of characteristics.[1] Pigs are also chubby animals, so 🐷 is sometimes used jokingly to say someone is eating a lot.
    • My son just tasted chocolate for the first time! Such a little 🐷❤️
    • Erin is so cute and she loves her bottle! 🐷👶🍼 Can she sit up on her own yet?
  2. Step 2 The 🐷 (pig face) emoji can mean someone is being dirty, greedy, or lazy.
    Pigs can be adorable, but they’re associated with a few not-so-cute characteristics, too, like being gluttonous, filthy, and lazy. Pigs are also heavy, so 🐷 could be used to say someone is overweight. You’ve probably heard phrases like “pigging out” (eating too much) and “hogging” something (keeping something for yourself), and 🐷 is a snarky way to say someone has these negative traits.
    • Your bedroom is a total pigsty! You need to clean this up ASAP 🐷
    • Omg I seriously cannot stop eating these chocolate chip cookies 🐷
    • Ugh, my brother has been laying around doing absolutely nothing 🐷

  3. Step 3 The 🐷 (pig face) emoji is sometimes used to represent money or banks.
    The connection to money mostly stems from piggy banks, but sometimes people use in a more negative way to talk about money, banks, and corporate greed.[2]
    • Every cent goes into my piggy bank–I’ll have a PS5 by summer! 🐷🎮
    • Corporations do everything they can to keep us down! 💰🐷
  4. Step 4 The 🐷 (pig face) emoji may refer to uninhibited or dirty sex on Grindr.
    Grindr is a dating app for gay, bisexual, and transgender people (although most users agree that it’s more for hooking up rather than dating). If you happen to see 🐷 in a Grindr profile or message, it usually means the person is into uninhibited, dirty sex and they aren’t too picky about their partners.
  5. Step 5 The 🐷 (pig face) emoji can refer to an actual pig, farm life, or pork.
    Some people may use 🐷 in a literal way to discuss anything pig-related, including pork or bacon. Since pigs are often raised on farms, 🐷 can also represent rural living and farm life.[3]
    • Did you see the video I sent earlier of the piglets?! 🐷 are so adorable.
    • Frying up some 🐷 tonight, so don’t be late! I know you love bacon.
    • I’m going to my aunt’s farm tomorrow and I can’t wait! 🐷🐮🐴🚜
