Main meaning: appetite, envy, jealousy
The smiley or the drooling emoji can be used to express a particular desire, appetite or preference. This can be related to a dish, a particular food, but also to a situation or a person's desire.
An example in the case of a dish or a food that we particularly like: “I like everything that is sweet, I have a preference for sweets and cakes. I'm drooling just thinking about it,” or “I definitely prefer poultry to anything red meat. However, a good leg of lamb makes me salivate as well. ".
To show a desire, or the fact of languishing, this smiley is well suited. However, it can be confused with the sideways-tongued smiley. The latter can also be used in similar circumstances.
The drooling emoji can also be used in funny and/or humorous situations. In addition, it is also used to express jealousy and/or envy which may be excessive. The subjects of desire can be objects, but also people, or even various situations. Here are some examples: the concert of a favorite group, an engagement ring that shines a lot, a dress that makes you dream, a friend who goes on vacation, etc.
