Fire in the Bronx-ing something is when you repeat the same piece of information several times in one sentence. Named after the “fire in the Bronx” meme of 2 newscasters doing just that. A common experience to encounter doing a school presentation while also being very nervous.
Person 1 (doing a presentation): Christopher Columbus accidentally found the Americas while trying to circumnavigate the globe to get to India. Instead he landed in the Americas, rather than his intended destination of India. He assumed he was in India, where he was trying to go, but he had actually accidentally discovered the Americas instead.
Person 2: You kinda said the same thing 3 times there.
Person 3: Did you really just fire in the Bronx it?
Person 1: (wants to die right now.)

"hey, you have to douse the fire somehow."
"what were you up to this weekend?"
" I hung out with my girlfriend, we started to fight but I still ended up dousing the fire"

An extremely brilliant firery red "sunset" or "sunrise" , of unusual intensity. Usually illuminating the under portions of clouds and especially storm clouds or smoke from wild fires; where high levels of moisture or dust particles are present in the atmosphere, giving the appearance of a firey red sunrise or sunset. This is caused by sunlight that travels through more of the atmosphere during sunset, causing shorter wavelength blue light to scatter away, leaving longer wavelength red and yellow light to reach our eyes. This process is called Rayleigh scattering, which occurs when light scatters off of gas molecules and other particles (such as water droplets or dust) in the atmosphere. When this happens and clouds are present, depending on conditions the light can reflect or refract and explode in a brilliant firey array of pastel colors giving off all shades of red, orange and yellow light. When these conditions are extreme, some storm chasers and photographers refer to this as "Ruth's Fire" , or a "Ruthy's Fire" Sunset or Sunrise. Both terms are valid and used. Defintion 2. Ruth's Fire is any extreme red spectrum or red shift releigh scattering.
Defintion of Ruth's Fire/ Ruthy's Fire is any sun set or sun rise of "extremely"' vivid and brilliant firey colors; associated usually with clouds along the horizon and especially storm clouds while the sun is at its lowest point.
Defintion of Ruth's Fire/ Ruthy's Fire is any sun set or sun rise of "extremely"' vivid and brilliant firey colors; associated usually with clouds along the horizon and especially storm clouds while the sun is at its lowest point.
I just photographed a Ruthy's Fire Sunset. After the storm passed there was a brilliant Ruthy's Fire sunset. Look at the Ruth's Fire Sunrise. The storm clouds gave way to a Ruth's Fire Sunset. This morning I saw a Ruth's Fire Sunrise. The most brilliant, breath taking sunset photography are of Ruth's Fire susets/sunrises. Oklahoma and Kansas are famous for their bright red Ruth's Fire sunsets.
