who blows

To blow air, especially by expelling through the mouth or nostrils; to exhale forcibly. The term covers a variety of contexts: the act of breathing life into something; blowing upon, as in the act of kindling fire; expelling air in a strong gust; or, in a more figurative sense, to breath out in the sense of exhaling the last breath, i.e., to expire or die. Occasionally it can also carry the connotation of driving or scattering by means of air currents (wind), or metaphorically of expressing contempt (considered to 'puff at').
