In the hardware world, we use the abbrevation BOM (bill of materials) frequently.

Needless to say, we use the full "Bill of materials" phrase when anyone on the call is at the airport or travelling in general.

One of my coworkers once told me that, unless I changed our hardware design, he'd be forced to add a buggy part to our bill of materials to handle the use case.

I had to call in a BOM threat.
