Wet Blanket


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.
