What 🍌 means

Most of the time 🍌 is literal and friendly: breakfast, gym snacks, monkeys or a funny mood. "Going bananas" means being crazy or very excited, and it is also linked to Minions fans. The emoji has a widely known sexual meaning because of its shape, much like πŸ†, though it is milder and often used jokingly. Context makes it clear: in a grocery list it is fruit, in a flirty late-night chat it may be a hint.

From a girl or a guy

From a friend or family member, 🍌 is almost always just fruit or a joke. In a flirty chat it can be a suggestive hint, but look at the rest of the message before reading it that way.
