over time this might affect our collective consciousness in regards to the purpose & function of the eggplant; and
can we please just get a straightforward penis emoji already?? Half the human population has a penis attached to their bodies anyway, why are we still so prude about incorporating actual penises into mainstream vernacular & daily life?

Just last week I meant to make eggplant parm but got mixed up and next thing you know I was deep throating that sucker. Dinner was ruined.

Feel free to submit a request to the Unicode Consortium in April when they open up again but given vulva/vagina was previously declined I doubt they'll accept penis https://www.unicode.org/emoji/emoji-requests.html

I literally used my penis instead of eggplant. Thanks Internet. Now I have a detachable penis.

But now you can leave it at home when you think it's going to get you in trouble.

Or I can rent it out, when I don't need it.

This makes sense if your jalopy is a missile.

Yes you see what I mean! Perfectly understandable mix-up, it's bound to happen to all of us eventually.
