Glass Cannon

A build of an Amazon in Diablo II, which has low life and defense but makes up in the fields of insane damage and speed with a bow.
You basically stack Dex instead of Vit, and instant damage.
Your goal is usually a 7 frame attack.

John: He stole my gold :(
Fred: Shut up John, you little bitch.

Glass Cannon

A person who acts and thinks highly of themself because they know how to significantly offend other people or do great damage towards other people when they get angry or want revenge, but when someone does the slightest thing to them, they cry and whine like a little bitch.

Another synonym is a glass gun. Comes from video gaming and role-playing games, when you have a character and/or weapons that have high offensive power, but weak defensive power.
Person 1: You know Katie and Chad are glass cannons, right?
Person 2: What do you mean?
Person 1: Because they hold a lot of clout and they love starting unnecessary conflict with people to slander other people and they can fight really well, like seriously they can beat your ass. But as soon as someone does one bad small thing to them, they fracture and shatter like a glass chalice.
Person 2: Oh yeah they're both weak bitches for real.
