Definitions (粵典–words.hk)
  1. 動詞
    字面上​指燃點​炮杖​,​但現​今​炮仗​因危險​而​受​法例​管制​,​日常​對話​中​使用​「​燒​炮仗​」​通常​只​係​為​左​誇張​語氣​,​未必​作實​。​以​「​燒​炮仗​」​舉動​形容​慶祝​,​有要​故意​令到​件​事眾​所​周知​嘅​意味​,​常​係​幸災樂禍​時用​。
    to burn the firecracker; since the use of firecracker was restricted nowadays, the phase is an exaggerated expression rather than real action. It also contains ironic tone.
