Blow Off Steam
To release built-up stress or frustration by doing something physical or relaxing.
Examples
- Let's hit the gym after work and blow off some steam — this week has been nonstop.
- Mom's been grumpy all day; she took a walk to blow off steam before dinner.
- I need to blow off steam, so I'm gonna blast music and tidy up the place.
