| Oct 4, 2013 at 8:46 | comment | added | hunter2 | @RenaissanceProgrammer That slang is just "blow". AFAIK, it's never used with off. I'd welcome an example. I would be talking about oral sex if I said "Blow me", but if I said "Blow me off", it would be the meaning discussed ('ignore me'/'ignore our plans'). (To go further, "blow me" could also be a pejorative, not directly sexual statement, like "fuck me" or "fuck you".) | |

| Oct 3, 2013 at 23:09 | comment | added | RenaissanceProgrammer | It MIGHT be important to note that "blow/blew off" also has a slang meaning pertaining to oral sex. | |
| Oct 3, 2013 at 23:05 | comment | added | RenaissanceProgrammer | Between off and up, the proper usage would be "up". If the bomber blew himself off, that would mean that he dismissed/ignored his own plan to bomb. | |
| Oct 3, 2013 at 22:44 | comment | added | Tim Lymington | But 'Did a suicide bomber blew himself up?' is ungrammatical whatever the last word may be. | |
| Oct 3, 2013 at 22:36 | comment | added | Yoichi Oishi | Correction. It should be 'blew off / up." The question regards whether the announcer pronounced the attacker blew himself 'off,' or 'up.' | |
