Its main thing is representing TALLNESS. Someone just hit a growth spurt? "Bro, you're a 🦒 now!" Feeling awkward and standing out in a group? That's total 🦒 energy – like, "I showed up in a suit to a beach party, felt like a 🦒." It can also mean something is cool in a quirky, high-up way, like "That new track has major 🦒 vibes" or just being unique. Basically, it's for tall, unique, or socially awkward situations.
