I learned something new today, while reading for my African Diaspora lit class:
The word "bangarang" is not just a made-up battle cry of strangely painted Lost Boys. (If you haven't seen Hook yet, go do it now--this is a classic.) It is A Real Word--part of the Jamaican dialect, to be precise, meaning "disturbance noise" or "commotion, noise".
It's an even better battle cry now that I know what it means!
BANGARANG!
