Corn Emoji

🌽 — 'porn', for a platform that would not let you say it, which then became a joke in itself when a child's video about actual corn went viral in 2022. The record's entry for the emoji that had two meanings in the same summer.

Sighting in a physical newspaper — Corn Emoji in a lifestyle column, in quotation marks, with a definition in parentheses. It has left the internet.

Correction @nullptr_nancy · Poster 27 Aug 2025

The record has 'Corn Kid'. The record notes the corn emoji meant something else the same year, and that the kid did not know, and that the internet did, and that this made his video funnier to a certain audience.
