Definition
The onomatopoeia that accompanies explosions in comic books, action movies, and unfortunately, chemistry labs where someone didn't follow instructions. It's the sound effect that makes things going boom sound infinitely more satisfying.
Example Usage
The fireworks went kaboom across the night sky, setting off every car alarm in a three-block radius.
