General CommentAlso, the word fugaz, after it's initial meaning came to generally mean 'fucked up' and was applied to the war the world in general. IMO, in general it's a very cynical look at typical English society with references to various events, minorities and observations. It's very 80's (funny that).
The flash point of a flammable liquid is the lowest temperature at which it can form an ignitable mixture in air. At this temperature the vapor may cease to burn when the source of ignition is removed.
Flash points are determined experimentally by heating the liquid in a container and then introducing a small flame just above the liquid surface. The temperature at which there is a flash/ignition is recorded as the flash point. Two general methods are called closed-cup and open-cup. The closed-cup method prevents vapors from escaping and therefore usually results in a flash point that is a few degrees lower than in an open cup.
