First weather fronts were renamed "polar vortexes" now they have "bomb cyclones"?

Actually, they are two different events.
Polar Vortex
Bomb Cyclone
Also, it's called a "bomb" cyclone due to the explosive development, so it's not just hyperbolic.
If you had just done a quick Google search, then we could've avoided this "look at me" type of thread.

They’re not the same.
We usually end up on the edge of a polar vortex when the cold air shifts down from the arctic.

Dude that cyclone is da bomb!

Bruv, a "bomb" cyclone just refers to how fast the pressure drops. The media has loved that one for a few years now. It is, at least, correctly used.
The polar vortex on the other hand...

maybe you should just pay more attention

In the 1940s and 1950s, meteorologists at the Bergen School of Meteorology began informally calling some storms that grew over the sea "bombs" because they developed with a great ferocity rarely seen over land.[5]

We need to go back to the weather stick..

Can't wait until we get our yearly Drop the Bass Cold Front.

Okay, maybe it's just the media embellishing meteorological terms to no fault of the meteorological community.
Just think of what the media would do if they got a hold of engineering terms: "stud", "nut", "total dynamic head", "suction head", "shaft", "orifice", etc., etc.

I lived through a bomb cyclone last year. It’s basically a blizzard (heavy snow and high winds blowing snow) with even higher and more sustained winds
