| Oct 29, 2015 at 21:10 | comment | added | Graffito | @Barmar - This expression refers to "a very short time in the spotlight or brief flurry with fame, after which the person is or will be quickly forgotten". If you say that for a person still under the spotlights, it means that you believe that his celebrity will fall soon. | |
