thunderclap
This term evokes a sensory experience of abruptness and intensity. In its literal sense, it describes the sharp, explosive sound of lightning, emphasizing the immediate impact on the listener rather than the rolling duration of a storm.
When used figuratively, it describes a psychological shock. It suggests a piece of information that arrives without warning and disrupts the existing state of calm or expectation, mirroring the physical startle response caused by a real storm.
