Blam!
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
Template:Realworld Blam! was the code-name for Halo: Combat Evolved, before it was completed. It was used to replace the original name "Monkey Nuts", because project lead Jason Jones couldn't bring himself to tell his mother he was working on a game called Monkey Nuts.[1]
"Blam!" is now used to censor curse words on the Bungie.net forum, and to censor inapropriate map names in Halo 3. it is most likely a tribute to the word itself.
The word was thought of because Bungie's Chicago office was located near a very busy street that had numerous near collisions between cars. Robert McLees would yell "blam!" so there was a sense of completion.[1]
Blam! is also found some times on halo3 when you use the map name please wait...name it in forge then go to custom games. Blam! is wut happenz wen u get ur ass blown off by a shotgun noobs.
