Slap-bang - is that an expression?

It is when you want to describe something that is directly or exactly in a particular place.

It's often used with the short phrase 'in the middle of' something.

Very precise.

So the expression 'slap-bang' is an informal way of saying 'exactly in a certain place'?
那么，“slap-bang”这个词是一种非正式的用法，用来描述“刚好在某个地方”吗？

No, 'slap-bang' - means 'exactly'.
