真的會砰一聲的東西
這一組是字面義:東西真的發出聲音,名字就從那個聲音來。
noun · B2
A firework whose whole point is a loud bang, not light or colour. Used mainly in Britain.
爆竹;響炮
Start with the sound: one loud, flat BANG, close enough that your shoulders jump. Add -er to bang and you get a name for whatever made it — the thing that bangs. That is the whole machine behind this word. Sometimes the bang is real and in the air: a , a tired engine, a sausage splitting in a hot pan. Sometimes the bang is what a thing does to you rather than to your ears: a song that lands like a punch. The word never describes something quiet, careful or gentle, in any of its uses.
bang + -er, the thing that bangs. Wiktionary adds the sausage story: the sausages had so much water in them and such tight skins that they could burst in the pan unless you pricked them first.
banger 就是 bang(砰)加上 -er,字面是「會砰的那個東西」。Wiktionary 另外記了香腸的由來:早期的香腸水分多、外皮又密,下鍋不先戳洞就會爆開。所以連食物也被那一聲命名了。

這一支把那一聲從耳朵搬到感受上:東西不必真的響,只要打得夠重就算。
