Example:
Kim: I can’t wait to go to Bangkok. It’s going to be so much fun. There are so many places to see.
Vijo: I hate the city. I
prefer a more quiet countryside place. The city is for unstable people.
Kim: Oh, don’t be such a wet
blanket. Why do you always have to
complain when I want to do something that’s fun for me? We always do what you want and I never
complain.
Vijo: You’re right, I’m sorry. I always seem to have this behavior when this happens. I’m sorry; I’m just really uncomfortable with
city people. I’ll give it an honest try
this time.
Kim: I would really appreciate that. Nobody likes a wet blanket.
Meaning: The expression "wet blanket" means a
person that is always negative and usually ruins other people’s good
times.
