Poop Emoji Meaning
You’re probably thinking..hmm.. this is kind of self-explanatory. Or maybe not! Yes, the 💩 Pile of Poo emoji represents feces and other bathroom topics, and you’ll see it in conversations related to that for sure. But it may also be used to convey a sense of silliness or whimsy, given its happy and fun expression. For example, if you want to congratulate a friend in a joking or sarcastic way or if you would like to throw a couple of light-hearted insults.
How To Use The 💩 Pile of Poo Emoji:

Pile Of Poop And Other Names Of The Poop Emoji
Yup, the 💩 Pile of Poo emoji is so popular there are other names for it. It is also known as “poomoji,” “Pile Of Poop,” and “Hankey,” or “Mr. Hankey.” We bet you didn’t know about the last one! So how did the 💩 Poop emoji turn into a person?
Well, we’ve got the TV series South Park to thank for that. Season 1, Episode 9 of the popular TV show is titled “Mr. Hankey, the Christmas Poo.” We kid you not. This episode is from 1997. So, what’s the connection between “Hankey” and poo? It turns out that the word “hankey” is mostly used in the shortcode for the emoji. You’ll see this in the communication apps like Slack.
What are shortcodes? Shortcodes, or emoji shortcodes, are codes used to speed up emoji insertion using a keyboard. They are used on various communication apps and websites. Shortcodes are made up of a colon and a shorter version of an emoji name. Isn’t that fascinating?
Poop Emoji On Other Platforms
Different platforms display the 💩 Poop emoji in various ways. Google’s design does not contain lines and is lighter brown in color, while Twitter’s version is a combination of red and brown. Like all the other Windows emojis, Window’s Poop emoji is seen with a black outline.
Rainbow Poop Emoji

Sometimes the truth is stranger than fiction. In the emoji world, the creation of the Rainbow Poop emoji is a perfect example. Who would have thought a rainbow on top of a pile of pop would be a thing? It is a thing, in fact, it is more than a thing—one Google search will show that Rainbow Poop designs are everywhere—on toys, shirts, mugs, etc.
So who thought of putting them together? No one knows how this strange combo came about, but what we do know is who created the first rainbow poop-designed cookie. Her name is Kristy Therrien, and in early 2010, when emojis were just starting to take off in America, she entered an online baking contest to win an iPad.
Kristy put her cookies on the contest website, and her cookies were featured in popular TV reporter Anderson Cooper’s talk show. She then got an order to bake 10,000 of them. At the moment, she owns the “rainbow poop” trademark, though that hasn’t stopped the concept from spreading on its own!
Poop Emoji History
The 💩 Poop emoji has quite the history. What was once a swirly brown pile of poo surrounded by buzzing flies is now the friendly, smiling face we all know! Yup, when it was introduced as part of Unicode 6.0 in 2010, the 💩 Poop emoji was just a picture of poop with flies on top of the pile, and people did not like it.
In fact, Gmail representatives said that they felt people would be offended by the vulgarity of the emoji. It took the persuasion of the creators of the emoji, Katsuhiko “Kat” Momoi, Darick Tong, Darren Lewis, and Takeshi Kishimoto, to get the emoji to appear on Gmail.
Indeed, the emoji has had to struggle for its place in the world, from its beginnings at Gmail to where it is now. The emoji was created to be much more innocent, originally, it was supposed to be known as a—you guessed it—chocolate soft serve swirl!
Later on, Huffington Post, Buzzfeed, and Dazed magazine came up with a list of other ways the symbol could be used to make it look attractive, like adding eyes and a mouth. And the rest, as they say, is history.
Popular Poop Emoji
Did you know that the 💩 Poop emoji is one of the most popular iPhone emojis? In a SwiftKey (a keyboard app for Android and iPhone) report, users in America, Canada, Australia, and the United Kingdom all used the emoji more than any other emoji.
Why is it so popular over there? Our guess is, either they love the emoji’s adorable design, or they all like to curse online!

Fit the piping tip inside the piping bag. When you’re done, fill the piping bag with chocolate frosting. If you don’t have a piping bag, or a piping tip, just get a zip-top freezer bag and cut a hole in the corner.
Put frosting on the cupcakes. Begin from the center outward. When you’re down, move upward to create the signature three-tier swirl of the 💩 Poop emoji. On the middle tier of frosting, get your two candy eyes and put them on each cupcake. Got to give them some personality, right?

Conclusion

The Poop emoji has become so popular it’s hard to imagine how we were ever able to show our distaste without an adorable pile of poop? It’s a fast and fun way to get our point across! There’s never been a time in history when a pile of poop in emoji form could look cuter.
The fact that it has become so popular in emoji form just goes to show that the simplest and most basic of things can bring people together – even if it’s something as simple as a pile of poop!
Sadly, not everyone thinks of it in that way. Remember, before the 💩 Poop emoji came around, poop was just a pile of feces—something that’s not cute at all. And some people might still think of it that way, as if you are giving them sh*t.
If you don’t want to get in trouble, it would be best to use the 💩 Poop emoji only with people that you are close to, like your family and friends. But go ahead and do it, and have fun with it! In these difficult times, we all need someone—and some things—to laugh and smile with.
