bang bang

The phrase "bang bang" is a colloquialism used after one has been insulted or humiliated (burned, wrecked, destroyed, told, dissed, etc. work also). This phrase was developed to mimic the sound of dual pistols firing one after another at a target, an analogy to the person who has just been burned being shot down. There is a popular following to the idea that "bang bang" should only be used after one other than the would-be speaker has said "shots fired."

An optional motion one can do while shouting the phrase is pantomine pistol shots firing from your hands as you should each word, using finger guns
