(Australia) A type of diminutive simple firecracker that explodes to give a loud noise.
“I literally heard two guys talking at a Tom Thumb. They were saying that "you never really hear of allergies before the 1980s" Like they spawned into existence at some point and haven't been a consistent human experience for as long as humans have existed.”
