Homophones drove me crazy. I saw I, U and B immediately but the Saw and Teapot emojis weren't loaded for me so I had to inspect elements then copy paste them into google just to see them and assumed the teapot was a kettle from the limited glance I gave it because I didn't want to google the exact name of the emoji (wasn't sure if it'd give me too much of a hint or not). Ended up giving up before remembering T does in fact have a homophone. This completely blinded me from the obvious rhyming words right in front of me

I really liked the emoji game! The horror movies were actually the first thing I picked up on, and I would have never in a million years thought the food items were connected to money (like, now i can see "dough" and "bacon", but definitely not cheese or lettuce, though in fairness I'm not a native speaker). I was really confused about how the "sheep" fit in with the rest of the homophobes though, so at least that mystery has now been solved, "ewe" never even occurred to me. (To be honest I'm not even sure I could tell you which animal "ewe" was, or what a female sheep is called, though it'd probably be in the running both ways.)

I watched “Black Sheep” for the first time while on vacation with my parents in the late 2000’s, I must have been about 15 at the time. We were staying at a friend’s house in Ireland, and pulled the DVD out of a bargain bin at a local shop, bringing it home without realizing what we had signed up for. Nearly two decades later we still talk about this movie, and we’ve even re-watched it a few times since. I hope you watch it, and enjoy all the camp silliness just as much as we did ❤
