  1. white out

    White out, often spelled as one word "whiteout", refers to two related but distinct concepts. 1) In the context of weather or outdoor conditions, whiteout is a severe weather condition in which visibility is reduced to near zero, typically due to heavy snowfall or fog. In these situations, there's literally so much white in the view that people can't see in front of them. 2) In the context of office supplies, "whiteout" or "correction fluid" is a thick, white, opaque substance used to cover up errors or unwanted marks on paper. After the whiteout dries, it provides a new surface to which one can write or type corrections to the original text. The term is also used metaphorically to describe situations where something is completely obscured or eradicated.
