English:
Bomb = Device that goes KABOOM in cartoons.
ENG-glish:
BOM = Bill of Material. This acronym is actually used in sentences like “Please explode the BOM so that I can see how much perfume needs to be added per ton of shampoo?” Cracked me up when I heard this for the first time. Cracked me up even more to realise that everyone else now found this phrase perfectly normal.
needless to say that when it was not put together correctly it doesn't explode correctly. It can explode and cause a R8billion variance because someone added tons instead of Kg's. Hmmm they should really consider the naming convention. It's like they are preemting the result which in case of a bom explosion is never good.
