aired out
Let breathe freely
Aired out means exposed to fresh air to remove staleness, moisture, or odors: We aired out the cabin after it had been closed up all winter.
The phrase extends to figurative freshening—airing out grievances means expressing them openly.
In slang, aired out can mean shot or killed, from the image of bullets creating holes that let air through.
