How to use "Fizzle" in context?
When you hear the word "fizzle," what images come to mind? Perhaps of a hot fire burning out too quickly, or a disappointing attempt at a stunt. But the word also has a meaning that's all its own - a failure to ignite, or to have a measurable effect. In both cases, the potential for success has been reduced. Exactly why this happens is still being investigated, but there seems to be a link between expectations and results. When we think something is going to work out, we raise our hopes and then get anxious when things don't turn out as we imagined.
