Badoom-ching! vs. Badoom-doom!

I was out with a friend last night and during the course of conversation I made a particularly witty remark and thus rewarded myself with a well-deserved “Badoom-ching!”

The prick then tried to tell me that the correct form of self-congratulatory drum roll was “Badoom-doom!”

I of course immediately told him he was way off the mark, it’s always been “Badoom-ching!” and where he got this “Badoom-doom” business was sheer lunacy.

But as my beer-soaked brain and I slept that night while mentally replaying every ‘Johnny Carson Show’ episode I’d ever seen, I did come across a few “Badoom-doom’s” in the history of monologues. It seemed to me that the “Badoom-doom” was used for a joke that fell flat/wasn’t funny, whereas the “Badoom-ching” was reserved for the zingers. (“Heyyyy-Oooooo!”)

I’d like to be able to trounce my bud with the court of opinion. Any thoughts?

I’ve always used Badoom-doom-tish.

It’s actually “badoom-boom.”

A point that I also brought up to my friend - “It’s BOOM, not DOOM!”, dumbass.

But he failed to listen to reason. So I quote him verbatim as he burbled it out.

Yeah, clearly you need a better class of friends. :wink:

People who share my CHIng, no?

"Badoom-CHIng!"

OK, that was just dumb. My app-e-olly-gees.

“Badoom-”

Aaagghh!!! It’s so hard to stop once you’ve started.

I always used “Ba-Da-Boom!”

Ba: Tom1
Da: Tom2
Boom!: Bass Drum with snare hit or rimshot

But what do I know, I’m only an ex-musician. Maybe striptease drum licks have changed. :smiley:

Tny only person I know who uses that on a regular basis does it “Badoom-boom-ching.” On the other hand, he usually uses it when someone else makes a good retort, not often for himself.

I use TITTI-boom, TSHhh!

So on the Left Coast, I could supplant “Badoom” with “TITTI”?!?!

I’ve gotta move…

Badoomp-Tch!

Thank you. :smiley:

No prob. :cool:

I really like the ‘Ching!’ at the end. It fits, somehow.
