wham, bam, thank you ma'am

Hasty, impersonal encounter

A phrase describing quick, selfish sex—intercourse performed hastily with no regard for the partner's pleasure or any emotional connection.

The rhyming structure mimics the rushed encounter itself.

More broadly, it describes any transaction completed with careless speed: The contractor did a wham, bam, thank you ma'am job and left us with leaky pipes.
