blow-out
Sudden tire rupture
A blow-out is a sudden rupture or failure, especially of a tire: We had a blow-out on the highway.
In oil drilling, it's an uncontrolled eruption from a well.
The term extends to decisive victories: The game was a blow-out—42 to 7.
A blow-out can also be a lavish party or a hairstyling treatment using a blow-dryer.
Also spelled blowout.
