Tinderbox

From Free net encyclopedia

For other uses of the term, see Tinderbox (disambiguation)

Historically, a tinderbox is a small container containing flint, steel, and dry, finely-divided fibrous matter (such as straw), used together to help kindle a fire. Tinderboxes fell out of general usage when matches were invented.

In conventional usage, the term tinderbox refers to something that is so dry that it could catch on fire with the slightest provocation, perhaps even spontaneously. The term is often used metaphorically.
