Phrase blowout
Text The word "blowout," in this podcast, means a big party or another major event involving many people and a lot of noise: "If I ever win the lottery, I'm going to have a big blowout to celebrate with all my friends." A "blowout" is also what happens when all the air suddenly comes out of a tire and it bursts: "Ahmed had a blowout while he was driving 65 miles per hour on the freeway, and he almost got into an accident." A "blackout" is the period of time when there is no electricity because there is a problem in the supply system: "Do you have any candles or flashlights in case there's a blackout?" Finally, a "brownout" is a period of time when there is less electricity than normal in an area: "The city is having a brownout, so people are reducing the amount of electricity they use."
