Here’s a tip for all of you, especially if you regularly appear on television: If you don’t know the meaning of something, don’t blithely blurt it out in front of millions of viewers.
This is BBC weather girl Carol Kirkwood, who is clearly an innocent flower who doesn’t get out much. While preparing to tell us the weather at the end of last year, she inadvertently said something very rude.

… there you go. It’s a euphemism for a lady’s privates, as anyone who picks up on innuendo (such as I do) could have told her without a second’s thought. Unfortunately the BBC crew must be wetter behind the ears than an otter’s pocket.
