Sentence: Martin Purple kept finding ways to inflict blunt trauma to his head....He referred to it as bigbangbirds because afterwards, he would see Starlings, Robins, Cardinals and best of all, little colorful Hummingbirds joyfully dancing around his head.

Etymology: A Play on Big Bang Theory + Big + Bang + Birds >>>Big (above average in size or number or quantity or magnitude or extent)Bang (strike violently,the swift release of a store of affective force) Birds (warm-blooded egg-laying vertebrates characterized by feathers and forelimbs modified as wings) Big Bang Theory (The theory that the universe was once clustered and at the 'beginning' it exploded out, as shown by the fact that objects are still moving)...In this case, those objects happen to be birds!!
