pyrotechnic

Postby gwray » Tue Dec 11, 2018 3:51 pm

More common and recognizable than foudroyant. It also has figurative senses such as "Concert attendees were treated to some pyrotechnics by piano virtuoso Ivor E. Keyes." or "Fred's insult to George's ancestry led to some verbal pyrotechnics."
A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in settings of silver Proverbs 25:11

Treated here.
Life is like playing chess with chessmen who each have thoughts and feelings and motives of their own.
