It was, Mr Chanes de Armas remembered, "like sleeping on a powder keg". A powder keg is a barrel of gunpowder. He dubbed the uniform "Powder Keg Blue", a powder blue with an explosive kick. It is an ancient powder keg that is currently in the Cape Pineta. Televised locally, "the hearings revealed that the city's racial powder keg was about to explode". For this reason Dimitsana has been called "the Nation's powder keg".
