Acronym for "boiling liquid expanding vapor explosion". This type of explosion is extremely hazardous and can occur during the rupture of a vessel containing pressurized liquid. When the liquid is water, the explosion is usually called a steam explosion. An alternate, whimsical interpretation of the acronym is "Blast Leveling Everything Very Effectively."
A BLEVE can occur in a vessel that stores a substance under pressure where the stored contents coexist at high pressure in both a liquid and gaseous phase, e.g., liquefied petroleum gas. A BLEVE is possible for this type of container where sudden decompression within the container causes a rapid boiling of the liquid contents, resulting in an explosive overpressure at the point of rupture.
A BLEVE can be prevented in the case of a venting gas cylinder by cooling the cylinder with water or foam, taking special care not to extinguish the flame in the process, until the leak is stopped or the cylinder emptied.

a sheet of paper, chewed into tiny sections, covered with spit and shaped into a ball, which when thrown forcefully against a flat surface such as a teacher's blackboard completely covers the surface with myriad tiny saliva-drenched paper pieces.
When Brother Martin stepped out of the catechism classroom to take a call, which he did every class period, Ricky spit out onto his hand the multiple gerb he had been nursing and hurled it against the big dry erase board. The tiny spittle covered pieces instantly splattered across the board and around its edges. The splatter of white against white wasn't noticed until having dried thoroughly over the weekend.
