Emoji Charades

This is just a fun @Rebo-style game.

The rules are:
  1. Post a common saying or idea with only emoji and punctuation.
    1. Giraffe Board Smilies are allowed.
    2. GB Emoji Codes are allowed, if you can figure them out.
    3. For regular character-based emoji, please wrap them in a size 7 tag.
    4. Tip for Windows users: Hit [Windows Key]+[Period] to bring up the Pick-an-Emoji window.
  2. Guess what previous posts are.
  3. If your post can't be guessed, it's probably terrible. Be prepared for mockery.
  4. If your post is too easily guessed, it's probably terrible. Be prepared for mockery.

Here's the first one in character-based emoji.
🎁🕴️🐟,🍴🌅🌇
🏫🕴️🎣,🍴🧬⌚

Here's my guess

???

Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime.

The love of money is the root of all evil, but it took me a bit to figure out, so no mockery.

That is so very very wrong. I should mock you for it, but it is also the funniest damn thing I've read in ages. Seriously, this put a smile on my face all day.

Pizza beats bread, pirates beat ninjas, pie beats cake, water guns beat lightsabers?

I'm very uncertain about the water guns/lightsabers part.

Wow! How wrong can some people be? That was obviously Bread eats Pizza, Ninja eats Pirate, Cake eats Pie, and Lightsabers eat Phasers.

Yeah, unless you're made of cotton candy or Final Net, that squirt gun is NOT going to beat a light saber.

You cracked the secret code. You’re safe from boxings until the new year.
