Meaning and Interpretation
🌡️ So, this is the thermometer emoji. On the surface, yeah, it's for talking about temperature—like "OMG it's 100°F today 🌡️" or "I think I'm getting sick, my temp is up 🌡️." But it's also used to show something's 'heating up.' Like if there's drama about to pop off in the group chat, someone might drop a "The vibes in here are getting spicy 🌡️🔥." It's a low-key way to say things are intense, warm, or just straight-up uncomfortable.
