Weather-watchers have been left red-faced this evening as a BBC weather map showed a very unfortunate shape over Essex.
With heavy showers forecast across the county, BBC Essex's weather gurus shared a satellite map showing the thick band of rain overhead - and people were all thinking only one thing.
Without being too crude about it, let's just say it resembles an intimate part of the male anatomy, looming out of the British Isles from none other than Essex.
The BBC has not acknowledged the unfortunate coincidence, so we'll leave it to the fine people of Twitter to flesh it out.
Twitter user @dejiimole wrote: "Looks like Essex is getting some action tonight and I can't even get a text back."
@Brighton_Peer estimated where his house would be, saying "As a resident of Southend on sea I think I’m somewhere between the shaft and the b***sack."
@AndyHa_ joked: "Accompanied by a stiff breeze."
@anxietywrldxoxo said they had "never been aroused by rain up until now."
And @sjchapm said he "hoped it doesn't cause too much of a coastal swell."
BBC weather says Essex can look forward to a mostly cloudy night, with further showery outbreaks of rain, which could turn heavy in local spots. It will turn blustery too with a fresh to strong northerly wind.
Saturday will be cloudy at times and rather windy with the chance of further showers or longer outbreaks of rain. It will feel cool in a brisk northerly wind.
Sunday and Bank Holiday Monday will be largely dry and settled as an area of high pressure extends from the west.
There should be bright or sunny intervals but also some large areas of cloud.
It will still be cool, particularly during the nights, although winds will ease. Tuesday looks mainly dry and bright but with a chance of rain arriving later on.
Looks like it's going to be raining men overnight...
