Updated: Marina Hyde suggests possible answer:

Some say there was a late run on Cookie, which was suggestive of suspicious voting patterns. Others maintain that "cookie" can be a slang term for the female genitalia. One might venture that, attended by a judicious wink or raise of the eyebrow, almost every noun in the English language could have been taken as a slang term for genitalia in some arcane patois at one time or another.

All of which suggests that certain members of the BBC need to go back to the archives and reacquaint themselves with the oeuvres — that's your actual French, that is — of J. Peasemold Gruntfuttock, Rambling Sid Rumpo et al.
