a blow


a rest or break- used by southern football coaches. somewhat archaic.
joe! get in there and give terry a blow at linebacker. he’s missed three tackles in a row.
(n.) a defeat, loss, reduction or failure, especially of a severe or devastating nature. this term is optionally preceded and/or followed by the prepositions “to” and/or “from”, which can be used to further refine its scope of meaning.
examples:

1. it has been over two months since the team’s last win, so the coach’s job may be at risk if they suffer another blow this sat-rday.

2. in their currently weakened state, a blow from the north may be enough to destroy the army’s 3rd division.

3. while the demotion had no meaningful impact on his salary, it was certainly a blow to his ego.
to have a blow is to have an attack on ones situation or being.
“what you did was a big blow to my relationship”
“i didn’t mean it as a blow.”
