In The Winter's Tale, Shakespeare used it to describe a moment when a ship at sea is instantly swallowed up by a storm. Other senses of flap-dragon are that of something worthless or trivial, as in "A Flap-dragon for your service, Sir!" from William Congreve's The Way of the World, and "a contemptuous term for a Dutchman or German". The words snap-dragon and flap-dragon can refer to the game, the raisins used in the game, or the bowl with brandy and raisins. The game is described in Samuel Johnson's Dictionary of the English Language (1755) as "a play in which they catch raisins out of burning brandy and, extinguishing them by closing the mouth, eat them." According to an article in Richard Steele's Tatler magazine, "the wantonness of the thing was to see each other look like a demon, as we burnt ourselves, and snatched out the fruit." Snap-dragon was played in England, Canada, and the United States, but there is insufficient evidence of the practice in Scotland or other countries. Typically, lights were extinguished or dimmed to increase the eerie effect of the blue flames playing across the liquor. Brandy was heated and placed in a wide shallow bowl raisins were placed in the brandy which was then set alight. It was played during the winter, particularly on Christmas Eve. Snap-dragon (also known as Flap-dragon, Snapdragon, or Flapdragon) was a parlour game popular from about the 16th century.
