Steals your thunder

The video begins with a student discussing their science fair project idea, which was stolen by a classmate. This leads to an explanation of the phrase 'steal someone's thunder', originating from John Dennis in 1704, who invented a new method to create thunder sounds for a play. Although his play failed, the technique was used in another play, leading to the phrase's modern meaning. The video concludes with a humorous suggestion for a new project: a lunch box that makes thunder sounds to deter lunch theft.
