I am not particularly fond of the calling the prime cards "hits" but I accept it since there probably isn't a better, concise term for those cards.

But, to hear a grown man call them "kabooms" was just grating. I can see it being common among pre-teens, what with their less-than-fully developed language skills. But an adult? Yeesh.

That’s actually the name of certain insert cards from Panini products.
