EN: exposed; busted
This isn't just the sound of an explosion. In Pinoy slang, it's the sound of a truth bomb dropping. It's the first word in the iconic phrase 'Boom, panis!' (Boom, spoiled/busted!), used when you catch someone in a lie, expose a secret, or make a mic-drop-worthy point. It's the verbal equivalent of a 'gotcha!' moment.
Onomatopoeia, from English 'boom'. Its specific slang usage was popularized by Filipino comedian Vice Ganda.
Almost always used in the phrase 'Boom, panis!' or a variation. It signifies a moment of sudden revelation or victory.
