[NSFW] How did the aubergine become a symbol for the male primary sexual organ?

Asked by ragingloli (52277points) February 14th, 2022

It does not even look anything like it.

I guess that when it was ‘agreed upon’ that there were not that many emojis yet.
So there was simply not a big variety of phallic looking ones.
Maybe in the next batch they’ll put in Bezos dick rocket?

There’s always the good old Unicode character: U+130B8 (NSFW—unless you’re an Egyptologist).

Aubergine = Eggplant

What does a male sexual organ do other than try and send semen to fertiilize an egg.

This really isn’t that difficult a thing to figure out.

I never knew! Is that why I was getting all those aubergine emojis? I thought someone was hinting they wanted me to make ratatouille!

@janbb wasn’t me. I am a vegetarian.

@Forever_Free Ha! Methinks he doth protest too much!

Never heard of this. I’m in the US. I’ve only heard bananas and cucumbers.

I think it’s just the only emoji that works. I doubt there was much association between the two before the eggplant emoji. But I agree; how thick do people think dicks are?

Forever_Free's avatar

@janbb No, no, they do but jest, poison in jest, no offense i’th’ world.

Looks more like testicles to me.

@ragingloli What is the male secondary sexual organ?
Thanks in advance.

ragingloli's avatar

@rebbel
The retracted ovipositor, obviously.

I too am trying to cypher the word “primary” in your question. I’m trying to visualize the others.

Forever_Free's avatar

The big brain is primary.
The little brain is secondary.

Most guys confuse the two.

HP's avatar

Wait. I still count only 1organ, retracted or not regardless as to whether it is endowed with a “mind of its own”.

janbb's avatar

Can I back up a bit and ask if the aubergine is the symbol of male genitalia and where was this decided?

HP's avatar

it’s loli’s question “res ipsa loquitor”.
