The fire emoji is often called just the hot, flame, or lit emoji. The fire emoji is widely used to praise something or someone, signifying that an object, person, movie, album, or so on is "lit," a slang term describing something exceptionally tremendous and cool. As the fire lit is also a slang word for "intoxicated," the fire emoji doubles it as a way to say that someone is wasted or very high. Since the early 1990s, the term "fire" has been commonly used as a colloquial language word for high-quality weed in hip-hop. Accordingly, often the fire emoji is meant to reference marijuana.
