Tongue

A pink tongue sticking out from the mouth, shown in a playful or expressive gesture.

The 👅 Tongue emoji is used to convey playfulness, silliness, teasing, or flirtation. It can also relate to food, flavor, or sensory experience, especially in posts about taste or spice.

It’s commonly paired with 😛 or 🔥 in memes and messages to express being sassy, goofy, or bold. It may also appear in health-related content (e.g., dentist visits or sore throat discussions), but its dominant use is fun and expressive.

Depending on tone and pairing, it can range from innocent to suggestive, so context is key.
