What 🚰 means

🚰 comes from the sign that marks safe drinking water, so its basic meaning is "water you can drink here". In chats it often shows up as a reminder to drink water or when someone is very thirsty after a workout or a hot day. In slang, "thirsty" can mean desperate for attention, so 🚰 is occasionally used as a playful tease about someone acting that way. The tone is usually light and friendly.
