Official Australian weather forecaster wants people to stop referring to it as the BOM

It's an abbreviation of "Bureau of Meteorology" but maybe it sounds a bit explosive

Not content with changing historical data to protect the image of Climate Change (sorry ‘homogenising weather data and closing stations with the hottest temperatures’), the Bureau of Meteorology decided to ditch its nickname ‘the BOM’.

Originally, the BOM wanted to be known simply as ‘the Bureau’ – which sounds like the perfect name for the weather arm of a dystopian dictatorship.

The BOM promptly started behaving like a pack of totalitarians by leaning on Twitter to ‘rectify’ the situation where ordinary users took up their ‘preferred Twitter handles’ @TheBureau_NSW and @TheBureau_AU. Twitter suspended or ‘freed’ those accounts.

The BOM’s narcissism ended in a backflip, with ‘The Bureau’ saying that people can refer to them in ‘any way they wish’.
