"Bazinga" meaning in All languages combined

See Bazinga on Wiktionary

Proper name [Translingual]

Etymology: Identified in 2013 by Lisa-Ann Gershwin and Peter Davie, who based the name on bazinga, a catchphrase from the sitcom The Big Bang Theory used to indicate a trick or prank, because they presume the species Bazinga rieki had been mistaken for juveniles of other species. Bazinga is also the name of a seven-stringed harp that Gershwin and Davie suggest resembles the radial canals of the jellyfish.
