1. blow off

   Blow off is an informal phrase, typically used in two main contexts. 1. It can refer to the act of intentionally ignoring or evading someone or something. For example, if a person does not attend a meeting or a gathering they had previously agreed to, they can be said to have "blown off" the event. 2. Alternatively, it can refer to the act of releasing or expelling something, often forcefully, as in the way a whale blows off air through its blowhole, or a machine releases steam or pressure.

   I think [ Trump ] was speaking with reckless indifference to the consequences of what President Trump was saying, as a citizen, I find Fox News deeply disturbing that anyone could blow off comments a candidate for the nation’s highest office makes on the basis that they are simply campaign rhetoric. We don’t have a more important exercise in our national civic life than presidential campaigns and to treat those as easy come, easy go in terms of significance of what people say is a very unfortunate development that should be resisted now.
