Slang changes quickly and is not owned by one generation. Documented patterns are useful clues, not proof that every sender intended the current popular reading.
Use the official name and visible design as evidence, but not as proof of a sender’s intent. Ask for clarification when the message affects consent, safety, work, money, health, or a relationship.
