gong
Mallet-struck metal disc
A gong is a large metal disc that produces a resonant tone when struck, used as a musical instrument or signal.
Gongs appear in orchestras, ceremonies, and as dinner bells.
In British slang, a gong is a medal or award: He collected gongs throughout his military career.
To gong someone, from the television show, is to cut them off mid-performance.
