The abbreviation "BoM" (bill of materials) is commonly used in engineering. It's also pronounced just how you might suspect. I wonder if it's consciously avoided in sectors like these.

I've definitely made the effort when traveling for work to always say "Bill of Materials" if I'm doing any work in an airport.
