I'm delighted that apparently the number one worldwide trend on Twitter at the moment is #HurricaneBawbag.

Total respect to whoever came up with this. Genius

Saw this earlier.

Apparently a few folk are trying to get the STV weatherman to namecheck it tonight on the news.

What is this "Hurricane Bawbag" thing - I mean apart from it being a bit windy??

Did some scamp just call it "Hurricane Bawbag" on Facebook and it spiralled from them?
