If "INflammatory" statements ADD fuel to da flames of strife and turmoil, would "DEflammatory" speech tend to REMOVE da hot flickering conflagration from da tense situation --- i.e., "blow out da fire"...?? Maybe da idea of da term in dat sense would be dat da person who's being trash-talked about would still be fumin' mad, but whatever was being said caused him to feel "deflatedly extinguished" as far as his being able to "breathe fire" any more regarding said scandalous assertions/opinions about him.

Disgusted local trucker: That electronics-whiz kid down the block from me is so proud of his new two-way radio gear that he built all by himself from kits, and he loves to listen on his scanner and then join in on any and all conversations taking place anywhere on da "ol' 40"... I wonder that he doesn't have ceebeeral palsy by this time!

What the likes of RJ Reynolds and Philip Morris are committing by marketing cigarettes... as an old Reader's Digest article about Big Tobacco was titled, "The Tobacco Companies Are Getting Away With Murder!"
Huge 18-wheeler trucks deliver cancer-sticks to stores, so are their licensed-to-operate-big-rigs drivers guilty of a "Class A crime", as well, since their licenses are of that type???

That dreaded “you only have a short time to live” medical report that a doctor detests having to give, and he fervently hopes that there won’t be an ambulance-chaser within earshot.
Doctor: “Zheesh, I’m not looking forward to presenting that old geezer with my die-agnosis --- knowing him, he’ll likely slap me with a malpractice suit even though I’ve honestly done all I could for him. This aint my fault --- as I've tried to tell him a thousand times before, it’s his own dissipative lifestyle that’s killing him.”

Describes da mood when someone bids farewell to someone else whom he either dislikes or is displeased with.
Da Terminator most likely was actually thinking, "HOSTILE la vista" when he blew da liquid-nitrogen-frozen T-1000 to bits, since he was none too happy about all da chaos and destruction dat said evil cyborg had caused up to dat point.

A hired fellow-human exterminator --- often a harassassin --- who causes his marks' premature demise by forcing them to eat oatmeal or other grain-based comestible that they absolutely detest, and so said abused victim commits eventually suicide to escape said culinary coercion.
They called Ted Bundy a cereal killer, but I happen to really enjoy hot oatmeal, plain shredded wheat, and other "simple fare" breakfast foods, so Teddy's tactics would have been much less effective at getting me to bite da dust than they would have been with many other folks with more of a "sweet tooth" or "meat 'n' potatoes" meal-selection preference.

Someone of totally-opposite mentality and life-experience compared to that lazy rich-kid character who was all over the news a few years ago.
Some of the Ethan Workbenches of the world may suffer from indigencetion and otherwise have a boring and/or financially-rough existence, but at least they tend to know the true value of basic decency and responsibility, plus they generally don't go around tilting their noses in the air or steamrolling innocent victims in their father's Ford F-350 after drunkenly playing "spin the bottle" till all hours!
