Blow Out Shares

Definition 1:
A vulgar slang term used by young guys to brag about ejaculation, often exaggerating their sexual exploits.

Definition 2:
When an investor, especially an insider, dumps a ton of company shares through a shady separate entity (like a shell company) to cash out before bad news crashes the stock, skirting insider trading rules.

Example: "Dude, I will totally blow out shares with the secretary tonight!"

Example: "That CEO plans to blow out shares through some offshore account, right after the the news release his team is fabricating!"
