If boobs don't have their emoji, bitcoin doesn't deserve it either!

We have an established tradition to represent sexual characteristics with fruit. 🍆, 🍑, 🍈 🍈.

To be fair, I whenever I go to market and see the eggplants, I feel inadequate. Also in the last decade many of the more classical substitutes have emerged in the emoji library. 🌶️, 🥒, 🥚🥚, 🌮, 🍪, 🎂, 🎃🎃

what's the cookie supposed to mean?

I think the same thing as 🍑, or 🌮, but in the context of pleasantly getting a peek due to a brief wardrobe malfunction. At least that's the context in which I've seen it.
