Wrapping a blanket around a person whose clothes are on fire can help smother the flames by cutting off the oxygen supply. This can prevent the fire from spreading and give more time for the person to safely remove the burning clothing or for someone else to help extinguish the flames. It is important to ensure the person stops, drops to the ground, and rolls to further extinguish the fire.

What is the origin of the term wet blanket?

A person can sometimes be described as a wet blanket if they make it harder for others to have fun, socialize, or participate in a party, etc. I believe that the intended comparison is to the use of a wet blanket to put out a fire, as a person called a wet blanket can smother a social situation, although some believe that this is because a blanket which can keep you warm if it is dry, becomes very uncomfortable when it is wet.A wet blanket is uncomfortable to wrap up in - a person who is a "wet blanket" is someone who is not comfortable to be around. You would use this idiom to mean someone who puts a damper on the enjoyment of other people and makes a fun situation less fun.I invited Bill to the party, but he was a real wet blanket and made us all miserable with his complaining.A wet blanket is a party pooper, a fun killer: someone who destroys a festive or happy mood. Think of the way a watered-down blanket would smother a fire, and you'll get the idea behind the expression.When a person is like a wet blanket, he/she is someone who takes the fun out of a situation or activity, as by pessimism, demands, dullness, etc. (P.S. Pessimism means a general belief that bad things will happen.)A wet blanket is a person who isn't any fun. Just imagine if your blanket was wet, you really wouldn't enjoy that now would you.


Is a wet blanket a person who is fun to be with?

No. In fact, a 'wet blanket' is a person who is just the opposite. That is, someone who seems to destroy fun times and good moods, whether on purpose, or unknowingly. They are usually as much 'fun' as cuddling-up with a wet blanket, hence the term.
