bim-bam

Not for points English to French Art/Literary Poetry & Literature ballad - Western genre
Has anyone come across the expression 'bim-bam'? How would you translate it?

Context : the wild west - a squaw asks a wounded cow-boy: 'You want bim-bam? Best damn bim-bam this whole town.'

Could it possibly have a sexual connotation?

Also any ideas for : 'See if I give a fart on a wet Wednesday.' ?

Many thanks.

Germaine vous êtes convaincante avec "alcool"
Germaine May 27, 2014:
Dans la mesure où elle offre le "best bim-bam this whole town", j'aurais tendance à croire qu'elle parle d'alcool, et si cette source semble donner raison à la connotation sexuelle:

il me semble néanmoins que l'alcool aurait un effet plus "thérapeutique" sur un "wounded" cow-boy... ou alors, la blessure n'est vraiment pas grave!
