An attack where someone uses bombs to destroy a place or hurt people.
اشتباه رایج:
Learners might confuse 'bombing' (the event or act) with 'a bomb' (the object). For example, 'There was a bombing on the street' (correct, an attack happened) vs. 'There was a bomb on the street' (also correct, but means only the device was there; it may not have exploded).

a complete and spectacular failure
A situation where something, like a movie or a show, fails completely and is very unsuccessful.
اشتباه رایج:
This is a much less common meaning. Learners should be careful, as it can be easily misunderstood for the 'attack' sense. The verb 'to bomb' (e.g., 'The comedian bombed') or the noun 'a bomb' (e.g., 'The movie was a bomb') are much more common ways to express this idea.

|
disaster (Stronger and can be used for a wider range of failures, not just performances or products.)
متضادها

|
hit (An informal term for a very successful performance, movie, or song, making it a direct opposite in this context.)

اشتباه رایج:
This is a slang term and should only be used in very informal situations. Using it in a formal context would sound strange. It is also easily confused with the main meaning of 'attack'.
