🇺🇸 English Expressions: Blow It Off
Hey everyone! 👋
Today’s expression is “blow it off.”
👉 It means to ignore something, not take it seriously, or decide not to do something.
You use it when you choose not to worry about or attend something.
Origin:
This comes from the idea of blowing dust or something light away. If you “blow something off,” you treat it as unimportant and let it go. Over time, it became a common casual expression in American English.

• He didn’t come to the meeting — he just blew it off. 🙄
