In Munich there is a white sausage butcher with the great name Magnus Bauch. His shop is located in the so-called slaughterhouse district, which the people of Munich also refer to as the belly of their city.
Yes, people generally have it somehow with their stomachs. For example, if he just feels butterflies in it or has another gut feeling. People like to express their gut feeling with an emoji. Emojis are clicked when you want to say in a text message that you’re feeling like a peanut, like a pretzel, or like an eggplant. If the person feels like a sausage, they choose the hot dog from the Apple Emoji list. Unfortunately, there is no white sausage there. Not even after the latest software update.
But what you soon find there: A man with a big belly. A magnus belly, so to speak. This can be used to say, for example, that you have eaten a lot of white sausages. Some, it is said, also interpret the new emoji as a pregnant man. This fits well at a time when gender boundaries are becoming increasingly blurred. Skirts, trouser suits, painted fingernails – none of that is as cis as it used to be. But in the end it is of course a question of personal gut feeling. Fox News presenter Tucker Carlson is still very cis. He got pretty upset about the emoji. For the cosmopolitan man from Munich, however, a pregnant man is no problem at all. As the white sausage butcher Magnus Bauch once said? “We in the slaughterhouse district see ourselves as cosmopolitans.”
