The new batch of emojis that was foretold in July has been approved, and texts are about to get a lot more suggestive.


On Tuesday, Unicode announced the 14.0 group of emojis that was due to arrive by the end of the year. While a group of pregnant men emoji caught people's attention (and certainly brought to mind the album cover of Drake's record), they seemed quaintly innocent compared to the new faces and expressions with which people could express their sexual emotions.

First, there was the lip bite emoji, which made a splash when it was announced as a finalist in July, but other new faces such as "melting face," "shocked face" and "salute" made the cut. Twitter user @dynastic noted that the new faces would "change sexting forever."


The salute in particular drew memes, as people imagined the sexual scenarios where it would be appropriate.


Meanwhile, The Verge theorized the new bubbles emoji could go well next to the peach emoji, thus signifying a fart. There are also beans for some reason, and while it's difficult to imagine the context in which one would use a bean emoji, never doubt the internet's ability to meme beans.
