heart A heart doesn't even look like that. Someone either can't draw or has never seen a real heart. Maybe they got confused with "harp." Or maybe it's an over-simplification or symbol. "I pump you up."
Actually, there are many theories about where the heart symbol came from. One theory is that it is closely related to the sign for Aries and the two circles together (similar to the Olympics sign) showing union and togetherness. In ancient Greece, the heart sign was related to a symbol for the lyre, an attribute of Eros, who was the god of sexual love. There is also a story I read somewhere about how there's a plant that grows in Africa and its seeds are almost perfectly heart shaped (not like heart though, more bold and round, if you know what I mean) and that there was an African tribe that used the seeds for birth control. I think from there comes the idea of having the heart symbol on some p-pills.

"I stab you with the pointy part of this thing." That's dumb. But there is a cool way to write "LOVE" inside that shape there.
I found that extremely funny and it reminded me of how the arrow through a heart symbolizes (and I quote my Dictionary of symbols by Carl G. Liungman) "directed energy, flow, penetration.." and so it's in fact very sexual xD
Fun fact about the heart symbol: In Sweden it is apparently connected to the behind and it's used to signify a toilet for both sexes. 3nodding
