Meaning and Interpretation
🏬 Yo, this is the big daddy of shopping! It's not just any store; it's a whole *department store*. Use it when you're talking about a serious shopping trip, hitting the mall, buying stuff you probably don't need, or just flexing about commercial vibes. It can mean 'let's go shopping,' 'I spent too much money,' or even symbolize a big, busy place. It's basically a visual for 'retail therapy' and consumer culture.
