1 a small, noisy firework (= small container of explosives that makes a loud noise when it explodes):
2 informal for sausage:
3 a popular song or piece of music with a loud, heavy beat (= rhythm) that people like to dance to:
Both types are also known as bangers.
I am not aware of problems with imported bangers as such.
It is perhaps time, as with ripraps, crackerjacks, squibs or whatever, to introduce a complete ban on the sale of bangers.
We used powers to ban bangers—they are no longer on the market—because they were identified as dangerous fireworks that caused many injuries and much distress.
In the case of banger fireworks, there are also limitations, imposed by an agreement with the trade, on the sizes, types and weights of compositions.
It would also allow us to get rid of the old bangers—the polluters that we see throughout the country.
I quote the case of a motor car dealer who used to keep an old "banger" in his back yard.
But the result will be that an increasing number of these noisy old bangers will move to smaller airports.
