Bomb around is casual slang meaning to drive around — typically fast, carelessly, or aimlessly. It suggests movement with energy but without a clear destination: you're not going anywhere in particular, just moving with speed or enthusiasm. British and Australian usage is common. The 'bomb' element implies velocity and casual abandon rather than destruction. Register is informal and youthful; typically used to describe teenagers in cars or anyone moving around energetically without a plan.
