EN: blowout
The most beautiful word a Filipino employee or student can hear. 'May sahod na, bloaut naman diyan!' It's the unwritten rule that when you get a promotion, a bonus, or it's your birthday, you're socially obligated to treat your friends or colleagues to a meal. It can be anything from Jollibee to a fancy restaurant, as long as it's your treat. It's the Pinoy version of 'I'll get this one.'
From English 'blowout'. Phonetic spelling.
Has two main meanings: a party/treat and a flat tire. The context usually makes the meaning clear.
