Funbomb (noun) \ˈfən-ˌbäm\

2. A metaphorical term describing any action, event, or piece of content (such as a joke, game, or surprise party) that brings about an intense, widespread outbreak of fun and enjoyment among a group of people.

3. In digital and social media contexts, a piece of content (video, image, meme) that rapidly gains popularity due to its humorous, entertaining, or joyous nature, "exploding" across platforms and garnering significant attention and positive reactions.

Usage: "The surprise flash mob in the city square was a real funbomb, leaving everyone in the area laughing and dancing along."

Etymology: A blend of "fun," denoting amusement or enjoyment, and "bomb," suggesting a sudden, impactful event, the term playfully contrasts the immediate, widespread effect of an explosion with the positive emotional impact of the event or action it describes.
