What Does This Mean?
French slang for an outstanding song: « banger » (a hit track made to energize) plus « de fou » (crazy, incredible) as an intensifier, giving « an unbelievable banger ». Used for tracks, and by extension for anything remarkably good. It differs from the existing « banger » entry, which is about collector slang for an excellent pull or card; here the sense is musical and the intensifier is French.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
"Ce nouveau son, c'est un banger de fou !"
