The root of the word is "bomb," so obviously, it's like combinging "bomb" or explosion with "fantastic" to form a new word meaning something like "explosively fantastic!"

I've never used the word, myself. There are probably more precise words of similar meaning that I'm more inclined to use in speech instead.
