hotspur
Impetuous, rash person
A hotspur is a rash, impetuous person—someone quick to anger and action without thought for consequences.
The word evokes a rider spurring a horse to reckless speed.
Shakespeare's Harry Hotspur in *Henry IV* crystallized the type: brave but headstrong, undone by his own temper.
He's a hotspur who picks fights he can't win.
