It reads to me as "sex man" but aside from that, looks useful!

When I was kid, I was playing Nintendo games with my cousin, and my very straight-laced Mormon mom kept calling for me to come upstairs for dinner. I kept replying, "Just a sec!" as we tried to finish the stage. After a few times through this loop, she yelled "NO MORE SECS!" It's been a running joke in my family ever since.

As pointed out by the other user, yes it is intentional, I always like a silly name Also, thank you for the comment! I use it on a weekly basis and it has integrated very nicely with my setup

The name is great, we should bring whimsy back to software

How do I tell all my coworkers about "sex-man" during a company teams meeting?

You have the named displayed on your screen at the same time and you keep a straight face.
