dynamite
Blasting stick material
Dynamite is a powerful explosive made from nitroglycerin absorbed into a stabilizing material.
Invented by Alfred Nobel, it revolutionized mining, construction, and demolition—and warfare.
Figuratively, dynamite describes anything explosive or sensational: That story is dynamite.
As slang, dynamite means excellent or exciting: The band was dynamite last night.
To dynamite is to blow something up.
