What 🥄 means

A single metal spoon. It means eating soup, cereal or dessert, and in slang, cuddling: 'spooning'.

Food posts use it with 🥣 or 🍨. Couples send it to ask for a cuddle, and 'big spoon' or 'little spoon' says who holds whom.

People with chronic illness use 'spoons' for limited daily energy, from spoon theory; 'out of spoons' means exhausted.
