Why is Thwack called *Thwack*?

My theory is this.....

We come here to ask questions and exchange ideas.

"Thwack" is the collective sounds of open palms slapping foreheads when we all say "of course, why didn't I think of that!"

Or the sound of foreheads hitting desks...

It's an acronym.

OK, share the rest of your thought ...

I'm working on it....

This article I wrote a while back explains just that!

"Thwack is the sound a cartoon character would make if he were to slap his forehead as if to say, "Now I get it! Problem solved!" (Similar to the "Blamo!" that would splash on the TV when Batman hit The Joker on the original Batman TV series, circa 1970.)"

you are correct

sorry, you are incorrect, thanks for playing.

I wanted to see if anyone would come up with something good!

I guess you deserved the "Correct Answer" reward.

When I was a young boy, thwack'ing was when your older brother used his thumb against his middle finger like he was flicking something away and snapped you really hard in the head!  (We were weird kids!)
