To purposely tell someone what they want to hear but also giving yourself excuses and reassuring someone that what is happening is neither their or your fault.
Teacher 1: Jack told me that he can't take the test tomorrow because he has been really busy even though according to him he thought I did a great job explaining it to him. I think I'm gonna give him an extra week.
Teacher2: Oh please, he's just blowing smoke up your ass

Tobacco Smoke Enema (1750's-1810s)
The tobacco enema was used to infuse tobacco smoke into a patients rectum for various medical purposes, primarily the resuscitation of drowning victims. A rectal tube inserted into the anus was connected to a fumigator and bellows that forced the smoke towards the rectum. The warmth of the smoke was thought to promote respiration, but doubts about the credibility of tobacco enemas led to the popular phrase “Blow smoke up one’s ass.”

Most literally translating to "trying to get a reaction" out of somebody. Originated from a 16th century technique to determine death by literally blowing tobacco smoke into someone's anus (through a long pipe) - where a reaction indicated that the person was still alive.

Similar to the phrase "Blowing smoke up my ass" but telling a person a lie to avoid telling the truth. This is especially done when caught in the wrong or other compromising positions.
"Jim caught his wife with another man at McDonalds; they were holding hands and everything!"
"Really, what happened?"
"Well she started trying to say the guy was just a friend"
"Seriously?"
"yep, I heard Jim kicked her ass to the curb, now she's staying with her 'friend' at his place."
"Man doesn't that beat all."
"Yes sir. I don't know how he's handling it so well... I would kill my wife if she was cheating on me, and then tried Blowing Air Up My Ass."

The kind of person or group of persons who are actually worse than worthless. So much so, that as you contemplate canceling their ticket, you are forever mindful of how expensive a pain in your ass they have already made themselves. Oh to be sure, they gotta go, but as cheaply as is humanly possible so you can recoup at least some of the loses they have cost your ass.
Ya know somethin' Phily? There aren't enough aspirins in the entire aspirin taking planet to make the headaches go away like this mamaluke's been makin' for me... an' yet, he isn't worth the powder to blow 'em up. I want him gone-all-day-long, like yesterday. Understand? ...but we gadda make this on the cheap as much as is freakin' humanly possible. Do I make myself clear? Marone!This chiseling wastling degenerate cock sucking madda fuck! Oh, he's gone. Right the fack now.
