  bang
       
          1. A common spoken name for "!" (ASCII 33), especially when
          used in pronouncing a bang path in spoken hackish.  In
          elder days this was considered a CMUish usage, with MIT
          and Stanford hackers preferring excl or shriek; but the
          spread of Unix has carried "bang" with it (especially via
          the term bang path) and it is now certainly the most common
          spoken name for "!".  Note that it is used exclusively for
          non-emphatic written "!"; one would not say "Congratulations
          bang" (except possibly for humorous purposes), but if one
          wanted to specify the exact characters "foo!" one would speak
          "Eff oh oh bang".
       
          See pling, shriek, ASCII.
       
          2. An exclamation signifying roughly "I have achieved
          enlightenment!", or "The dynamite has cleared out my brain!"
          Often used to acknowledge that one has perpetrated a thinko
          immediately after one has been called on it.
