I always thought that "shriek" and "bang" both referred to the exclamation point. http://www.catb.org/jargon/html/E/excl.html http://www.catb.org/jargon/html/

- AnimalMuppet 11y agoAh, you are correct. The best fit I can find is "sharp" for "#". Wikipedia (at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shebang_%28Unix%29 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shebang_%28Unix%29) says that it's from "sharp bang" or "hash bang".
