What a bummer!
Carol: I've heard the superstar is likely to put off his performance. He's got a cold.
Morris: Really? I've been waiting so long to see him, and I probably won't have time for the show later. What a bummer/a pity/a wet blanket?
Do all of the underlined phrases in the above sound right and mean about the same? Thanks.
