lungs 🫁 - OzVoca Emoji Details
lungs
The 🫁 emoji represents the 'lungs,' the organs in our body that allow us to breathe. You can use it when talking about respiration or health.
It's an emoji you can use while breathing fresh air to say "The air is so good 🫁," or when talking about commitments related to lung health, like quitting smoking.
Beyond just a physical organ, it's also used metaphorically to mean 'a breath of fresh air' or 'a weight off one's chest.' It can express the overwhelming feeling when a frustrating situation is resolved or when listening to a great singer's song.
The use of this emoji increased significantly during the COVID-19 pandemic as the importance of respiratory health was emphasized. It's also used in interesting ways, such as raising awareness about environmental issues like fine dust, or to describe a K-pop idol's powerful vocals, like "It feels like even my lungs are being purified 🫁."
