An emotional detonator is a word or multiple words, image or multiple images, video, idea, or perception that causes an explosive and often irrational, emotionally based reaction that renders logic and sound judgment abilities immediately inert.
The media is notorious for using inflammatory headlines, doctored videos, selective and biased reporting as emotional detonators to illicit emotional responses from the ill-informed public.
Taking a beer can, shaking it up and exploding it by the forceful slamming of said can against one's forehead. The real art of this game involves careful placement of beer can on forehead, force of impact, and splatter distance. Masters of this game value winning not only at detonating the can, but how far each half of the split can travels, number of attempts needed to detonate, but also making sure audience members enjoy the sport.
Did you see that game of detonator!? Dude, QuickStep needed only 2 tries to explode that can. He must have a forehead made of steel.

Back when I lived in upstate new york, I also had to park on the street - on two occasions, we got enough snow, mixed with just the right plowing, that my car was lifted off the ground from so much snow being jammed underneath it.
Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.
