Rough words in context.

Scenario: you found out that your girlfriend of two years had been cheating on you for a year and eleven months. Your emotions start to rush, blood begins to boil, and thoughts establish new ideas in your head. You’re at a complete loss for words so you simply mutter the phrase; “Well that blows!” This particular phrase implies a negative appeal to whatever the subject may be. However, the word blow usually means nothing more than a strike or sudden shock. When said amongst friends it seems socially acceptable. However! Your employer did not hire you because of your dashing good looks. Nay! They most likely hired you because you presented yourself in a respectable manner. Saying “That blows!” around your boss is never a respectable idea. Knowing when and where to use certain phrases really does matter, someone could lose a job and that sure would blow!
