fizzers
Disappointments that flopped
Fizzers is the plural of fizzer, a word with several informal meanings.
In British and Australian slang, a fizzer is something that fails to live up to expectations—a disappointment or dud: The much-hyped product launch turned out to be a fizzer.
A fizzer can also be a firework that fizzles rather than exploding properly.
In some contexts, fizzers are effervescent tablets or candies that fizz when dissolved.
