The quotation is from Antony & Cleopatra, which has some nice homoerotic stuff going on between Cleopatra and her two waiting women, Charmian and Iras, including this line. Figs = vagina. :-)
Actually, to be more precise, I thought it referred to the labia. I think that figs look more like labia than a clit, although to be honest I never eat them or cook with them.

I thought figs referred specifically to the clit? I also have heard that figs was slang for hemerrhoids!
Well, this is all slightly embarrassing, now! :) I had no idea, of course.

Merde! I just reread myself and saw what a bad indirect pronoun choice that was. I never eat or cook figs, meaning of the fruit variety.
I like Fig Newtons! I'm not such a huge fan of the fruit variety... :)
