쾅!! 쾅소리를 내다.

Mainly in US English, a whomp is a loud, heavy blow, slap, or bang. The verb means, of course, ‘to slap or strike heavily’ or ‘to make a banging noise.’ Figuratively, and rather informally, it means ‘to defeat decisively.’

Example sentences

• The boxer gave his opponent a whomp. 쾅 쳤다.
