Fireworks
"He is setting off his last fireworks." What could this sentence metaphorically mean?
Top answer
the word "last" suggets a big display before exhaustion, maybe before retiring from a job, or leaving a place where he has lived / worked? or that he has tried some other ways of attracting attenion and is at the bottom of the box, hence "last" in that sense.. It also seems a bit "negative" cos fireworks are pretty enough, but a bit flashy, noisy and short lived!
