| Phrase | blowout |
| Text | In this podcast, the word "blowout" means an easy win or victory: "We're much stronger than our opponents. This game is going to be a blowout." When talking about a car, a "blowout" happens when a tire suddenly bursts and the air comes out: "Pedro was driving on the freeway when he had a blowout and had to pull to the side of the road." When talking about women's hair, a "blowout" is a style treatment where the hair is blown dry slowly with beauty products to make the hair straight, shiny, and full of body (with a lot of volume): "The bride and all the bridesmaids got manicures and blowouts before the wedding." Finally, "to blow out the candles" means to push air out of one's mouth to stop the flame that had been burning: "Happy birthday! Now make a wish and blow out the candles." |
