What does Blowup really mean?

Alright, so when we talk about the word "blowup", what comes to your mind? Imagine a balloon getting bigger and bigger until it finally pops. Well, that's kind of what "blowup" means. It's when something expands or increases in size really quickly and maybe even bursts or breaks because of the pressure.

Now, in a different way, "blowup" can also mean a sudden outburst of emotion or anger. Like when someone gets really upset and loses their temper, that's a kind of "blowup" too.

So, think of "blowup" as a sudden explosion of something, whether it's about size or emotions. It's like when you shake a soda can and then open it - there's a big "blowup" of fizz and bubbles! So, "blowup" can mean something getting bigger and bigger until it bursts or it can mean a sudden outburst of emotions. Does that make sense?
