firework
(gcide) | firework \fire"work`\ (f[imac]r"w[^u]rk`), n.
1. A device for producing a striking display of light, or a
figure or figures in plain or colored fire, by the
combustion of materials that burn in some peculiar manner,
as gunpowder, sulphur, metallic filings, and various
salts; also called a pyrotechnic device. The most common
feature of fireworks is a paper or pasteboard tube filled
with the combustible material. A number of these tubes or
cases are often combined so as to make, when kindled, a
great variety of figures in fire, often variously colored.
The skyrocket is a common form of firework. The art of
designing fireworks for purposes of entertainment is
called pyrotechnics. The name firework is also given to
various combustible preparations used in war.
2. pl. A pyrotechnic exhibition; an entertainment consisting
of the discharge of fireworks[1]. [Obs. in the sing.]

fireworks mode
(jargon) | fireworks mode
n.
1. The mode a machine is sometimes said to be in when it is performing a {
crash and burn} operation.
2. There is (or was) a more specific meaning of this term in the Amiga
community. The word fireworks described the effects of a particularly
serious crash which prevented the video pointer(s) from getting reset at
the start of the vertical blank. This caused the DAC to scroll through the
entire contents of CHIP (video or video+CPU) memory. Since each bit plane
would scroll separately this was quite a spectacular effect.
