n a short vivid experience
a flash of emotion swept over him the flashings of pain were a warning
n a sudden brilliant understanding
he had a flash of intuition
n a very short time (as the time it takes the eye to blink or the heart to beat)
if I had the chance I'd do it in a flash
n a gaudy outward display
n a burst of light used to communicate or illuminate
n a short news announcement concerning some on-going news story
n a bright patch of color used for decoration or identification
red flashes adorned the airplane a flash sewn on his sleeve indicated the unit he belonged to
n a lamp for providing momentary light to take a photograph
v gleam or glow intermittently
The lights were flashing
v appear briefly
The headlines flashed on the screen
v display proudly; act ostentatiously or pretentiously
v make known or cause to appear with great speed
The latest intelligence is flashed to all command posts
v run or move very quickly or hastily
v expose or show briefly
he flashed a $100 bill
v protect by covering with a thin sheet of metal
flash the roof
v emit a brief burst of light
A shooting star flashed and was gone
