splat
Messy collision noise
Splat is the sound of something wet or soft hitting a surface—or the impact itself: The egg landed with a splat.
The word is onomatopoeic, imitating the noise.
As a verb, to splat is to strike with such a sound: The tomato splatted against the wall.
In computing and typography, splat is informal slang for the asterisk symbol (*).
