What 🦒 means

A giraffe with its long neck and patchwork spots. People send it for the animal itself and, just as readily, for height: a very tall friend, a long reach, or craning to see something.

Safari trips and zoo visits get 🦒 alongside 🦓 and 🐘. Friends use it to tease the tallest person in the group or to joke about sticking their neck out for someone.
