"The North American term bangs may have come from the use of the word bang to connote something sudden or abrupt, and the idea that the hair over the forehead comes to an abrupt end after just a few inches." - quoted from the wiki article linked below. It's as good of a reason as I could find...

Good question. I'm from Australia and we call it a fringe. All it is basically is a different term meaning the same thing. In America they call taps fossits. The call a cleaner a janitor... and well they call a fringes bangs!

It was first noted in America in the late 1800s, perhaps from the meaning of to cut short (1886 bang off meaning "immediately, without delay")

Bangs means hair that flows down infront of you head. Look at the picture see that stuff they are bangs. Copy that on you tool bar and you will see bangs.
