Fireworks
Discontinued design application
Fireworks are explosive devices designed to produce spectacular effects of light, color, and sound.
They're launched into the sky for celebrations—New Year's Eve, Independence Day, festivals.
The singular firework exists but is less common.
Figuratively, fireworks means dramatic conflict or excitement: There were fireworks at the meeting when the budget came up.
Sexual or romantic fireworks suggests intense chemistry: The fireworks between them were obvious.
