How to use "Blowup" in context?
The term "blowup" is often used to describe someone or something that becomes extremely angry, aggressive, or emotional unexpectedly. This can be caused by a variety of different factors, including stress, anger, or frustration. Andre Gide once said, "A blowup is a sudden outburst of anger which is beyond your usual range." A blowup can be devastating, both physically and emotionally, and can be disruptive to both your personal and professional life. There are several things you can do to prevent a blowup from happening in the first place, and if it does occur, there are a few things you can do to manage it.
