The Pregnant Man emoji (🫃) was officially approved as part of Unicode 14.0 in 2021 and rolled out to devices in 2022. While its primary purpose was to increase gender inclusivity for trans men and non-binary individuals, the internet immediately adopted it for a wide range of humorous contexts. It is most frequently used as a shorthand for a 'food baby,' signifying that the user has overindulged at a meal or is feeling bloated. Additionally, it has become a popular reaction image to 'thirst traps' or extremely attractive content, where users jokingly claim to have been made pregnant by what they saw. Its mix of genuine representation and absurdist humor has made it a staple of modern digital communication.
