《广安方言与民俗词典》has the following entry:

【biáng】

普通话中无“b-i-ang”发音,属于群众自创方音。象声词,本义指用力扯面中面条击打案板之声。生活中常作为口语化的象声词,如巴掌打在脸上的声音、面积较大的东西摔在地上的声音等。为了方便记忆,民间还有此字歌谣:“一点一横长,二字下来口字方,两边丝绕绕,中间马大王,你也长,我也长,心字底,月字旁,打把金钩挂衣裳。”

What character is “一点一横长,二字下来口字方,两边丝绕绕,中间马大王,你也长,我也长,心字底,月字旁,打把金钩挂衣裳。” exactly?

I get kind of lost after 二字下来口字方.

You must mean this:

biang,

this word simulates many things which I can't tell you guys in English 😂

I do not know for sure, but I think this must be biáng as seen at Wiktionary. I saw it recently in an article about a teacher punishing students who were late to class.

I see the "马" in the middle, and your description mentions "心字", also "丝", also "长", also "月"... This must be it!

This is a big picture of the biáng character I'm talking about. I lost count after 50 strokes... :) More pictures at Wikimedia. That's lot of strokes for 'noodles'!
