In 2016 , there ’s pretty much no stop in eating a food , doing an bodily process , or even having a feeling unless you ’re able-bodied to express it using an emoji . Sure , you could tell your friend you went on a cycle drive with your raw offer and then had shower gender , but why use words when you could just text : 🚴 🛁 🍆 🍑 🚿 😋 ?
