The peach emoji has had a tumultuous year full of identity crises so itβs only fitting that some research be done to bring it back to its best self.
The folks at Emojipedia β your one-stop shop for any emoji data you could possibly want β took a βrandom sample of real time, English-language tweets mentioning πβ and, well, analyzed them.
Why? To tell us more about our freak-nasty Twitter habits, obviously!
In the course of 12 hours, Emojipedia collected 1,618 tweets and then removed retweets to secure a dataset of 571 tweets. From these tweets, they discovered that βlikeβ, βassβ, βpeachβ, βbadgirlβ, and βbootyβ were the top five words in tweets with π (ten points to Gryffindor if you can use all five in a single tweet!π)
The π clearly makes people saucy.
To emphasize the sauciness even further, the Emojipedia team took a random sample of 100 tweets from their dataset and found that 33% of tweets use π as a shorthand for butt and 27% have sexual connotations or include suggestive imagery.
Their research concluded that as many as 93% of tweets with π have nothing to do with actual peaches.
Oh, and the most used emoji in tandem with the peach? Obviously, the π.
So, what do we talk about when we talk about the peach emoji? Definitely not much involving fruit.
