bazinga
Triumphant prank exclamation
Bazinga is an exclamation of triumph or gleeful mockery, typically following a prank, joke, or clever gotcha moment.
The word was popularized by the character Sheldon Cooper on the television sitcom *The Big Bang Theory*, where it served as his signature catchphrase after delivering a zinger: I replaced your shampoo with hair removal cream. Bazinga!
