FLASH IN THE PAN

1. A Project, person etc that enjoys only short lived success.
2. Something which disappoints by failing to deliver anything of value, despite a showy beginning
Origin
This originally had a literal meaning, i.e. a real flash in a real pan. Muskets used to have small pans to hold the gunpowder charge. An attempt to fire the musket in which the gunpowder flared up without firing a bullet would be called a 'flash in the pan'.
origin, The term is known since the late 17th century. Elkanah Settle, in Reflections on several of Mr. Dryden's plays 1687, had this to say:
"although the group had a number one hit, it was only a one hit wonder making them a flash in the pan."

"If Cannons were so well bred in his Metaphor as only to flash in the Pan, I dare lay an even wager that Mr. Dryden durst venture to Sea."

farshid

In Parsi meaning is : Illuminated; sparkling

Farshid or Farsheed is a Persian name. It is currently used in Iran and the Kurdish regions in Eragh, Turkey and Syria.

This Name is one of the most ancient Persian proper names whose philological background could be traced back even in Old Persian scriptures.
Concerning the etymology of this proper name there exist much more hypothesis and speculations than accurate Onomastics etymologizing. Although we clearly could differentiate between two parts of this lexeme. So we have to deal here with a compose form consists from tow morphemes far ( = splendour, shine) + shîd (= sun, sun beams).
In this manner we could translate the Old Persian proper name Farshid/Farsheed as Sunshine or the splendour or the pomp of the sun.
This name which obviously implicates a Zoroastrian Old Persian concept of worshiping of sun and fire as the sacred religious phenomenon. The female first name farshîdeh/farsheedeh seems to be an adapted name through a non correct derivation of masculine name Farshid accordning to the Arabic modification system of feminin construction formula additing eh/at in order to build a feminin form which could not appeal for a pure Persian name such as "Farshid".
