Idiom of the Day
📚let off steam
✍🏾Meaning:
If you let off steam, you do something to release pent-up emotion or energy.
❕For example:
🔺After sitting quietly in class all morning, kids need time to let off steam in the playground before going back to class in the afternoon.
🔺It'd be good to have a punching bag somewhere in the office so we could let off steam whenever we get a bit angry or frustrated.
💢Note: To "blow off steam" has the same meaning.
➕Origin: This idiom probably comes from the fact that boiling water produces steam which creates high pressure that will cause an explosion if it isn't released somehow.
