The meaning of 'boiled frogs' originated from the song 'Boiled Frogs,' written by Canadian band Alexisonfire.

Weather authorities are predicting EXTREME and UNPRECEDENTED weather conditions today, with highs of over 43 degrees centigrade. (in actual fact the temperature never went past 36 degrees centigrade, so the authorities had been boiling the frog)
