This emoji's meaning has expanded to signify 'sliding into' something. For example, on social media, people talk about 'sliding into the DMs' when messaging someone they're interested in.

Beyond its original meaning of fun, it's also used ironically to say a situation is 'going downhill.' For instance, using it like 'My grades are 🛝' can be a funny way to describe the situation. It's a charming emoji that can be cleverly used in both positive and negative contexts.
