Or they may have been, but been talking about something else entirely. I do some work in electronics manufacturing, and am frequently on calls discussing this BOM or that BOM (Bill of Materials) - a common term in manufacturing. It's not uncommon for me to use the phrases "I need to work on the BOM", "The BOM will be ready soon", or "I've got the BOM on me" - I just have to be cognizant of my surroundings

Passengers aboard an Air Canada flight spent some anxious minutes circling in the air on Friday before landing safely in Regina.
The plane's pilots told passengers there was a problem with the aircraft's [Embraer-190] flaps, and that they would have to land at a slightly higher speed than normal.
