Usage notes
- Use bomba for an explosive device; ordigno is more formal or technical in news and police contexts.
- In colloquial Italian, una bomba can mean "awesome" or "intense"; this is informal and context-dependent.
- Common idiom: essere una bomba means "to be amazing" or "very effective," not literally explosive.
