This name has become a part of pop-culture used to describe any personal assistant position (read: practically a slave) in allusion to the character "Emily" from the movie "The Devil Wears Prada".

She was Miranda Priestly's personal assistant and it was the name the main character (Anne Hathaway) was often called after by mistake (as she wasn't appreciated enough for her boss to bother to learn her real name).

This is someone who works very hard and is always doing a million things for their boss and their work is never appreciated.
A: Ugh, I had such a rough day today at work! I had to take care of a million things!!!
B: Wow, that sucks!
A: Yeah, I'm like my office's Emily!

A drug addicted girl that loves detroit. does tons of meth, pops pills, does heroin, that everyone thinks will die soon, which she rightfully should. Has bouts of Phycosis from all the drugs, and dissapears sometimes for days. She tweeks on meth and ruins all her relationships. Lots of people hate her. Many do not know how she is still alive from all the drugs.

The most amazing person you will ever meet. You get lost into her beautiful blue-green eyes. Any conversation with her is a deep conversation but you should treasure it. Everyone is jealous of her and her squad but they're all so amazing.
"I got lost today,"

"Where did you get lost?"

"In Emily's eyes..."

"Wow.."

Emily is one (typically female, but can be used to define males), who is overwhelmingly beautiful and intelligent, who cares for others. Emily can be described only as beautiful, pretty or amazing. The only flaw with someone dubbed Emily is that they are constantly underwhelmed by their own beauty, intelligence or appeal to others. Emily is true perfection
Person: "Emily, you are looking very pretty today!"
Emily: "Are you kidding me? I'm totally like, disgusting!"
