Called an OOPS!
And my day is so much better now that I've had my semantics lesson
SQUIB;
A small firecracker that does not explode, or a broken firecracker.
A short humorous or satric writing or speech.
A non-magical person who is born to at least one magical parent.
An electric match is a small explosive device which is used in pyrotechnics and display.
A "squib" load is defined as one which has insufficient power to propel a bullet through the barrel of a gun.
But no mention of a "low powered load for target shooting"...
