What is another word for friction match?
Pronunciation: [fɹˈɪkʃən mˈat͡ʃ] (IPA) 
The term "friction match" refers to a small stick or stick-shaped object that produces a flame when rubbed against a rough surface. There are several synonyms for this term, including safety match, pocket match, strike-anywhere match, and lucifer. Safety matches are the most commonly used type of match and are designed to be struck only on a special surface or box. Pocket matches are small enough to be carried in a pocket or purse and are often sold in small, portable containers. Strike-anywhere matches, as the name suggests, can be ignited by striking them on any rough surface, and lucifers are an older, wooden version of the friction match.
