blow out
Exhale to extinguish
To blow out is to extinguish by blowing: She blew out the candles on her birthday cake.
A tire blows out when it bursts suddenly.
A blowout is such a rupture, or a lopsided victory: The game turned into a 40-7 blowout.
To blow out your knee or shoulder is to injure it severely.
A blowout can also be an elaborate party or a professional hair styling.
