Block Up for Dummies
verb
What does Block Up really mean?
Alright, so "block up" is a phrase that means to clog or close something so that nothing can get through. It's kind of like when you have a drain in your sink and you accidentally drop a bunch of hair in it, and then the water can't go down anymore because the hair is blocking up the drain. It can also be used to talk about something getting stuck, like when you have a cold and your nose gets all blocked up and you can't breathe properly. Another way to think about it is like when you're playing with building blocks, and you stack them up so high that they're all tightly packed together and nothing can move. That's kind of like how something can get "blocked up" too. So, when we say something is "blocked up," we're talking about it being closed or clogged in some way. Does that make sense?
