What 🦨 means
A skunk with its white stripe. It means a bad smell, whether from gym socks, a fridge, or a person who needs a shower.
Friends use it to tease about odors or to call a situation stinky. In sports and games, getting "skunked" means losing without scoring, and 🦨 marks that too.
"Skunk" is also slang, mainly in the UK, for strong-smelling cannabis.
