What is "FOOM"? Is it an acronym? What does it stand for?
Wordnik says "The sound of a muffled explosion." But that doesn't sound right. If AI goes FOOM, the explosion presumably won't be 'muffled'. :-)
I think it may suggest a non-violent, non-destructive rapid expansion, like how a shaving foam goes foom :)
