in the process of making this poll i found this quote when getting the juice box emoji:
"Originally proposed as juice emoji, beverage box emoji can be used to talk about juice or other liquids that come in boxes with straws. It can also be used metaphorically to talk about power, energy, respect, or an elusive quality that makes someone special."
what on earth is it talking about with that second sentence

re: beverages, why
@limni are you sure it's ineffable? have you ever tried to eff it?

re: beverages, why
@Felthry gods, you're right. we may have to correct that omission — for science!
@Felthry Is...is that an anti-semitic dogwhistle?
@FreyaManibrandr Huh? I'm not sure I follow
-F
@Felthry Try sounding out the word without thinking of it's meaning.
@FreyaManibrandr What word?
-F
@Felthry @FreyaManibrandr Juice box? Jews box? I dunno, I pronounce juice and Jews differently.
@FreyaManibrandr @InTheLandOfTheRisingSun that seems a little far-fetched since we also pronounce those words quite differently but also plausible deniability is kinda the MO of nazis so i dunno
either way when i posted it i did not intend it to be anything other than "this is a poll about fruit juice"

@InTheLandOfTheRisingSun @Felthry it could be me with my past experience, but I have known the alt right to use proxy words that sound phonetically similar to certain terms to fly under the radar
beverages, why
@Felthry nothing conveys the ineffable essence of charm and attraction quite like a juice box, apparently
though now we kinda want a black soymilk juicebox
