red cape
Toreador's teasing cloth
A red cape is a garment or cloth, typically sleeveless and worn draped over the shoulders, that is red in color.
The term most commonly evokes the cape used by matadors in bullfighting, waved to provoke and direct the bull during the spectacle.
Figuratively, a red cape is something that provokes an angry or aggressive reaction: Mentioning politics at family dinners is like waving a red cape.
Superheroes in comics and film often wear red capes as part of their iconic costumes.
