blowout
Lopsided victory margin
A blowout is a sudden rupture or failure, especially of a tire: We had a blowout on the highway.
In oil drilling, it's an uncontrolled eruption of gas or oil from a well.
Extended uses describe decisive victories: The game was a blowout—42 to 7.
A blowout can also be an extravagant party or a hairstyling session using a blow dryer.
