Meaning and Interpretation
🐀 So, this is your standard rat. If you're talking about the actual animal, cool. But TBH, people mostly use this in two ways. First, to call someone a snitch or a rat-fink, like 'don't be a rat 🐀'. Second, it's a total vibe for anything sketchy, grimy, or just straight-up nasty. Think 'this whole situation is 🐀'. It's also a huge nod to NYC culture (shout out to pizza rat 🍕🐀).
