firebreathers
Circus fire artists
Firebreathers are performers who spray fuel from their mouths and ignite it, creating spectacular jets of flame.
The term extends to anyone intensely aggressive or confrontational—politicians, commentators, or activists known for inflammatory rhetoric: The senator was a firebreather who never backed down from a fight.
Also spelled as two words.
