Also:
From the days of flintlock <https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/flintlock>
firearms <https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/firearm>, where the main charge
was intended to be fired by a small charge of gunpowder in the priming pan.
If the resultant fire did not pass through the touch-hole and ignite the
main charge, the momentary coruscation
<https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/coruscation> produced noise and smoke, but
no substantial effect, and was termed a =E2=80=9C*flash in the pan*=E2=80=
=9D. Sometimes
called "*fluff in the pan*", the term refers to any ineffectual, short,
spasmodic effort that dies in the attempt, such as an explosion of priming
in the lockpan of a gun while the gun itself does not go off.
