Default New OZ Quilting Acronym?

I got e-mail today from one of the members of the quilt group I
belong to in Lizard Land. Seems that when they went to a quilt show in
SoCal, they were befriended by a nice woman from OZ. The ladies were
explaining to the woman terms like STASH and SABLE. The woman then
mentioned WOMBAT, an OZ acronym which she, unfortunately, couldn't
remember what most of the letters stood for just that the M was for
"material"! I told my friend that I would ask here and see if any of
our OZ members were familiar with this term and could tell me what it
means :-). So -- any clues or hints, etc.??? Of course, we could have
a contest to see if we could come up with anything suitable -- and I'm
sure it would be interesting, to say the least
It *could* start out as Width Of Material but I can't think of what
the BAT would stand for. Then again, the MBAT could stand for Material
Beyond All Thought (or Time, maybe), but then what would the WO stand
for??? I'm open to suggestions :-)). CiaoMeow ^;;^

It's probably Waste of Material Batting and Time. I've also heard it Waste
of Money Batting and Time.

I just got another e-mail telling me that the WOM did stand for
Waste Of Material. The Batting And Time makes sense too so I shall go
e-mail my friend with this info :-). Thanks & CiaoMeow ^;;^
