Phrase blanket
Text In this podcast, the word "blanket" means a large, warm, thick piece of fabric used to keep one warm, usually put on a bed: "She spent the evening sitting on the couch with a warm blanket and a good book." An "electric blanket" uses electricity to make a person stay warm: "Aren't you worried about getting electrocuted if you sleep under an electric blanket?" A "security blanket" is something (usually an old blanket) that a child likes to hold because it makes him or her feel safe: "Their little girl never goes anywhere without her security blanket." Finally, a "wet blanket" is a person who ruins other people's fun or makes it impossible for other people to have fun, usually by refusing to join their activity: "Oh, stop being such a wet blanket and dance with us!"
