zonks
Hits really hard
Zonks is an exclamation of surprise or dismay, similar to "yikes" or "zoinks": Zonks, I forgot my wallet!
The word carries a cartoonish quality, often used playfully rather than in genuine alarm.
As a verb, to zonk is to fall asleep suddenly or to stun someone, usually in the phrase zonk out: I zonked out on the couch after dinner.
