It's a generally English term.

From my dictionary:

whizbang or whizzbang - 1. a small calibre, high velocity WW1 shell that,
when discharged, travelled so that when fired in a flat trajectory the sound
of it's flight was heard only in instant, if at all, before it's explosion
2.(Informal) excellent or first rate.
