Etymology
The term 'whizzbang' originated during World War I, representing the sound of artillery shells or fireworks. It is a vivid onomatopoeic word that combines 'whizz' which mimics the sound of something moving quickly through the air and 'bang' that denotes a loud explosive noise. This term quickly evolved from its military connotations and also became a slang word in mainstream English to describe anything that is spectacular or impressive. In the roaring twenties, it gained popularity in the United States, often associated with exciting new inventions and lively entertainment.
