This is what you do to a balloon before a party, or what happens to your ego when you get a lot of likes on your new profile pic. It can be literal (inflating something) or figurative (blowing an issue out of proportion). It's the act of making something bigger, whether it's a beach ball or a small misunderstanding.
ROOT MEANING: swelling, bulge
Can be used both literally for physical objects (balloons, tires) and figuratively for abstract concepts (ego, issues, pride).
