Why? It's actually a meteorological term. It's a system that deepens at a rate of at least 1 mb / hour over 24 hours. It's taught in met schools and military forecasting schools. IT's qualifies what a system is...like baroclinic...baraotropic. The first use of "bomb" I was taught was in military forecasters school in referring to baroclinic systems like noreasters...but you can apply it to tropical cyclones as well. You might as well ban the word trough or ridge
