New List Of Emoji Plays With Fire, Brings 'Lip Biting' Emoji To The World

"Ask, and you shall receive" seems to be the motto among makers of Emoji, even if that which is asked for could have potentially ruinous consequences: yesterday, the "lip bite emoji" was announced.

Emoji 14.0 is to be finalized in September 2021. Here's on the latest draft list https://t.co/IAahiILGA0 pic.twitter.com/1GPyHxZnWu

The Lip Bite emoji has long been requested among the Emoji-using crowd, for what better way is there to express your sexual interest in a thirst trap than a lip bite? The demand grew so large that a hypothetical iteration of the lip bite emoji inspired the F-boy Emoji became a meme in 2018.

Though the lip bite emoji will almost certainly be used in sexual contexts once it releases in September, the announcement brought to mind a much-less-sexy image for Twitter users: Lin-Manuel Miranda's Lip Bite.

The Hamilton composer's penchant for taking selfies while awkwardly biting his lip became a cringeworthy meme last year, which goes to show that the lip biting emoji is one that users will have to employ with caution. It could be sexy, or it could be reminiscent of a musical theater nerd attempting to be sexy. Post wisely, friends.
