In French - The meaning of Ploum Ploum ?

[The Stuntman *]

Could any of the French contingent on here explain what the words 'Ploum Ploum' refer to please ?

I can't really find anything on google.

Does it have a particular meaning ?

It's an equivalent to our "eenie meenie minie mo"..

that means 'splish splash' I think. The mrs says it to our little lad when he's in the bath and more water then seems to end up on the floor.
