a bright bang under the bed!

            "Bang" is slang for the exclamation point in the world of typography. I learned that early in my career as a graphic designer. 

There seems to be some creative debate on the origin of the term, but apparently, in the 1950s, secretarial dictation and typesetting manuals in America referred to the mark as "bang." Other slang terms used in various professional cultures over the years have included: point of admiration, note of exclamation, sign of admiration, exclamation point, exclamation mark, ecphoneme, a screamer, a gasper, a slammer, a dog's cock, a startler, a shriek, and a pling.

Do you know any not listed here?
