What does "The Whole Pitch Blows" Mean? English Idiom Explained | Learn English with THE BOYS

What does "The Whole Pitch Blows" Mean? What is 'pitch', and what is 'blow'? Welcome to our English lesson with The Boys. We'll be looking at idiom, phrasal verb, figurative language, and advanced vocabulary. Let's watch and learn. 


In the scene, two creators present their ideas for an advertising campaign. So, they make a pitch for the job. In this situation, 'pitch' means a presentation or proposal. 

Now, let's learn the meaning and usage of other words and expressions in this clip.

"small-town kid" means someone who grew up in a small town or village, a place that's not a big city.

"on the surface" means looking at something from the outside or in a very basic way, without going deeper. Imagine you are meeting someone new. On the surface, you might only see their clothes and how they smile. You don't know their personality or what they're really like yet.

'all-American boy' describes someone who seems to have all the typical qualities that many Americans value in young men. This means something that represents the United States of America in a positive way.

In the clip, Creators describe their idea for promotion. They say that Ryan, the son of Homelander, should be shown as a typical American young man from a small town who is feeling his hidden talent in himself.

Now, we will continue to watch what coming next in this conversation.
Let's look closer at this part of the conversation and learn more new words and expressions.

"proudly" means feeling happy and honored about something or someone. In this scene, Homelander might feel proudly about Ryan. He might be happy and excited that Ryan has powers like him. But, it doesn't necessarily mean he's a good dad. We will to see what happens next.

'inevitable' means something that absolutely will happen, something you can't avoid. 

"destined" means that something is supposed to happen to you in the future, like it's already decided. In the clip, Ryan is portrayed to be "destined for greatness" because he should think he's special and has a great future ahead of him.

Great job, let's continue to watch the next part of the conversation.

In the scene, people have different reactions to the pitch? Homelander thinks the picture is great, while Ryan is unsure. Let's see how this situation will develop.

"the whole pitch blows" is a way of saying the entire idea you presented isn't very good. It might have a fault, mistake, or weakness, or it just doesn't sound convincing. Here, "blows" doesn't mean with wind, it means something fails or doesn't work. This is informal language and might not be appropriate for formal settings.
