But yesterday was no ordinary day in these parts and the person responsible for giving the gales the moniker "hurricane bawbag" put the Twittersphere into overdrive. By mid afternoon, T-shirts adorned with the nickname were available to buy online at up to £14.50 each. One tweeter thought it was fantastic that Scotland had christened its storm "hurricane bawbag". The tweet went on: "What does it mean? Google brings up something about boxer shorts." Close, dear tweeter, close, but not quite in the loop.
