Definitions

  1. Loud sharp noises or a fringe of hair across the forehead.

Word origin

From bang (“to cut [hair], dock [an animal's tail]”), probably from the sudden manner in which docked hair appears to burst out explosively when it's cut (i.e. "with a bang"). Ultimately from bang (“to strike noisily, explode”).
