What 🦣 means
The tone is usually playful. Calling something "mammoth" means very large, so 🦣 often stands for a mammoth task, a huge meal or a long study session. It also works as a joke for things that are outdated, like an old phone or an old song, similar to calling something a dinosaur. Teachers, students and science fans use it when talking about the Ice Age, fossils and extinction. It can tease a big, strong friend in a friendly way, but using it about someone's body may come across as rude.
In texting
Most often it means something is huge or very old. "This assignment is 🦣" means it is a massive amount of work.
Sarcastic use
People use it to call a habit, gadget or person old-fashioned, like saying "ancient". It is light teasing, but it can sting if aimed at someone's age or size.
