fire breathers

Circus flame artists

Fire breathers are performers who spray flammable liquid from their mouths and ignite it, creating dramatic plumes of flame.

The term extends to anyone who speaks with fierce aggression or delivers scorching criticism: The senator was a fire breather on immigration policy.

Fire-breathing dragons are a staple of fantasy literature.
