Phrase "blow on it" #1 (permalink) Tue Oct 14, 2008 13:57 pm   Phrase "blow on it"
 

Hi everybody I'm new in this froum, my name is daniela

I was reading a play named "The weirdest honeymoon ever" by D. M. Bocaz-Larson, and I run into this phrase: "blow on it"
Could anybody explain me if it has a bad meaning or something, becuase in the play is misunderstood by the husband.

Thank you all!

Hi Nella,

You'll have to show this in context otherwise the imagination could run riot as to its meaning, bearing in mind the title.

Oh so sorry...this is the context:

PETE

Are you sure this is the right key?

MAY

I think so.

PETE

It won't fit.

MAY

Okay. Maybe it isn't the right key.

PETE

Is this the right cabin?

MAY

This is it. See. #1

PETE

But the key won't turn.

MAY

Maybe the lock's frozen.

PETE

Maybe.

MAY

Blow on it.

PETE

(Embraces MAY)

With pleasure.

MAY

Not me. The keyhole. It's cold out here.

(PETE blows on lock)

Did it work?
