Noun.
Used to express extreme joy or excitement. This word is typically used all by itself, as a lone exclamation.

This can be used just after you've said or done something you're very proud of.
Can also be used if someone just got pwned, and you are rubbing the pwning in their face.

A variation of this word is "ska-BAMF!", which came into use after the animated movie Kung Fu Panda popularized the term "ska-doosh".
Ned: *showing a paper to his friend* Bamf! I just got the highest score possible on my SAT!

BAMF Switch 

An extension of the acronym BAMF, a BAMF Switch is a scene in an action or other genre of film, where a character, typically lead, becomes more of a BAMF than they were a moment before.

Most, but not all, BAMF Switches result in some kind of fight scene.

BAMF Switches are often characterized by:

1.) Changes in music. (Raised tempo, a more intense genre, or even no music at all.)
2.) Monologing, or, more commonly, a single phrase.
3.) Flashbacks
4.) Slow Motion
5.) Reloading a weapon
6.) A physical gesture, such as cracking the neck or knuckles, or awesomely punching someone.
7.) Shifting Gears (If in a vehicle)
8.) A Close up. Especially if the character has just done something very dramatic, such as falling in a pool of blood, or cutting some dude in half.
9.) A change in Weather. Often to high winds or rain. (Similar effects can be given by sprinklers, or large fans)
10.) A Physical Transformation. (Putting on armor or some kind of awesome suit, changing into some kind of creature, or transforming from a vehicle into a giant robot.)
The Matrix: Neo, just after the security guard says, 'Do you have any metallic objects with you?'
