⌛︎Meaning and Description
The hourglass is a device that measures time by the flow of sand from one glass bulb to another. Before the advent of modern clocks and watches, people relied on the steady flow of sand in an hourglass to track the passage of minutes or hours.
⌛︎ is most widely used in the sense of counting down time. For example, on Snapchat, the hourglass emoji appears next to a friend's name when your Snapstreak with them is about to end.
It can also be used to urge someone to hurry, expressing urgency💨 or impatience. Moreover, it can indicate that something is about to expire or end, such as a deadline, a coupon, a subscription, or a warranty.
Lastly, it is often used to refer to an hourglass-shaped figure or body type, which is a compliment to a hot body.
Do not confuse this emoji with ⏳, which shows a hourglass with sand flowing from the upper bulb to the lower one.
