Alice Kramden (played by Audrey Meadows) - wife of Ralph
Kramden (portrayed by Jackie Gleason)... one half of
"The Honeymooners" (old TV show, which started out as a
series of skits on the Jackie Gleason Show); husband Ralph
would always threaten to "send her to the moon" when she'd say
something he disliked, and would demonstrate just how he
planned on doing so by shaking his fist at her while saying:
"I'm gonna send you right to the moon, Alice" or sometimes more
simply: "To the moon, Alice... to the moon".
In later episodes, the phrase: "To the moon, Alice" was often
substituted with the more concise: "Bang, ZOOM!!!", accentuated
by arm movments corresponding with each action... the
vocalized sound effects of: "bang" and "zoom" indicating the
impact of the aforementioned bitchslap, and her subsequent and
rapid ascension to the celestial body in question, respectively.
The assumption was that everyone on the planet had seen "The
Honeymooners" by that time, so a simple "Bang, ZOOM!!!" was
enough to convey Ralph's intentions to the entire audience.

Neil, I was being ironic . . . pretending I didn't get it because DJ implied
that only old folks would get it. But very nice job on the encyclopedic
explanation. :)
