Hence, the steams all over the platform.
It is, then a clever way to talk about people having to let go of mental pressure by utilizing the steam engine. Someone for instance gets into a shouting match with a colleague. We can imagine them explaining their behavior saying: “I had to raise my voice and shout at him, otherwise my lungs might explode.”
Yes, you see, he’s that angry.
To sum up, to blow off steam is to release and let go, let anger or any other strong, negative emotion or feeling go.
In other words, let it out and get it out of the system.
Now, media examples:
1. Two German entrepreneurs have devised a way for passive-aggressive citizens to blow off some steam - dial a telephone number and give the person on the other end a verbal lashing.
The swearing hotline, know as “Schimpf-los” (“swear away”) in German, has operators standing by seven days a week for frustrated individuals to jeer at and taunt using the most unsavoury language they can muster.
“We don’t judge people who are angry,” said Ralf Schulte, who set up the hotline with his fellow media services provider Alexander Brandenburger.
“It happens. It’s natural. With us you can blow off steam no strings attached,” 41-year-old Schulte told Reuters.
The creators of the service found inspiration in their own stressful daily routines. The way Schulte sees it, he is doing people a favour by providing a release for pent-up aggravation and helping to avoid altercations in the workplace or at home.
