Snap!

Sudden sharp sound

Snap! is an exclamation of pleased surprise when something works out unexpectedly well, or when you notice a striking coincidence: Snap! We're wearing the same shirt.

In British usage, it echoes the card game where players shout "snap" when matching cards appear.

American speakers might say Snap! to express impressed approval: You got the job? Oh snap!
