Word: Bamboo

Bamboo is good stuff.  It's pretty.  It's plentiful.  And it's useful for many purposes.

But it's the word that I like.

Bamboo.  BAM!  BOO!

It sounds like a homicidal ghost with a loaded gun.

Or a visiting player hitting another home run against a beleaguered pitcher.

(I can't believe I spelled "beleaguered" right the first time...)
