Butt emoji

[Crissov]

Skype #253 has had a mooning emoji, the peach 🍑 (and less commonly a heart 💛) is abused commonly to reference to a (juicy) arse and there is some traditional ASCII art #293 of behinds, e.g. (_!_) (_*_) (_i_) (_|_) – indications for a buttocks emoji being wanted. Some people actually prefer a metaphor over explicit graphics, but others prefer clarity and loathe the ambiguity: the peach, for instance, is also used for female genitals and cleavage. Also, it's orange color arguably applies less to people with strongly pigmented skin. Some sticker, e.g. Grindr's Gaymojis, packs therefore include the usual peach in various colors.

Also see #243 for more body parts.
