Emojis have revolutionised the way we communicate. Not only is emoji the fastest growing language in the nation, the little critters have allowed us to interact in new and unforeseen ways.

Of course, if emojis have changed the way we speak to our friends, it’s inevitable that they would change the way we flirt (they've already proved that vegetables can also double-up as parts of the human anatomy- who ever thought an aubergine was phallic, before now?)

But how much do we actually use the aubergine, the peach and the cherries when we are e-chatting with the object of our affections?

Not that much, it seems. Because Tinder has announced the top 10 most-used emoji on their app.

The list has given us new faith in the previously dismissed ‘hook-up app’. Although we’ve been told that most people on Tinder are seeking love not lust, we didn’t quite believe it until this emoji-nouncement.

Because the list of top 10 Tinder emojis is rather PG – not the X-rated images we’d imagined.
