The two index fingers together emoji, which started on TikTok, has now been turned into a meme and is taking over Twitter.

The emoji sequence can be used if you're about to ask someone a soft, yet risky question, or if you're just feeling hella shy.

Here it is in full effect:

Other explanations claim that the emojis mean you're horny, and Urban Dictionary – which can be edited by anyone, FYI – also says that the emojis can be used to mean "gay sex". So there's also that.

Bye.
