Hi Blow-out If that's motor racing then a blow-out is a burst tyre or maybe the crash of a number of cars that follows from a burst tyre Chop of a champion The special skill that a champion displays. Probably, this turn of phrase comes from the action of a guitarist when they 'chop' down on a good chord Save the day Make everything come out well, at the end. It may be a military metaphor: in a day's battle that looks as though it may go badly, a general may make a good decision and save the day Dave
