The phrasal verb 'blow through' has two primary meanings. Firstly, and most commonly, it means to spend money, resources, or assets very quickly, carelessly, and often wastefully. This implies a lack of financial discipline and a rapid depletion of funds, often without much thought for future consequences. Secondly, it can mean to pass through a place, area, or a barrier very quickly and often without stopping, paying attention, or being significantly affected by it. This often conveys a sense of speed, disregard for obstacles, or a lack of engagement with the surroundings.
