smack-dab (not comparable)

  1. (slang) Exactly in a place, especially the middle; directly; precisely; dead-center.
    I tossed the water balloon and it landed smack-dab on the top of his head.
    • 2017 July 23, Brandon Nowalk, “The great game begins with a bang on Game Of Thrones (newbies)”, in The Onion AV Club[1]:
      Things build and build, and it becomes clearer and clearer that a battle is about to take place. In “Stormborn,” a bang above deck is all the warning we get, and suddenly the Yara Greyjoy fleet is smack dab in the middle of Euron’s Iron Fleet, and the party begins.
