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:
