'Blow to smithereens' có 'smithereens' là mảnh nhỏ, mảnh vụn -> cụm từ này nghĩa là đập thứ gì thành nhiều mảnh nhỏ; đập tan một ý tưởng hay kế hoạch bằng cách vạch ra những lỗi sai của nó.

Ví dụ
Rage 2 may be full of baddies (nhân vật phản diện) to shoot and things to blow to smithereens, but Avalanche has storytelling ambitions too.

The world isn't going to blow to smithereens in 11 years. (This viral conclusion from a recent climate change report is just factually wrong.) But the UN’s committee of climate scientists, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, said in October that we will need to fundamentally and restructure our governments and global economic system if we want to avoid an absolute worst-case warming scenario.

She wrote, “The other side of the story — and I came to learn that every story has another side — was not driven home to me until my parents moved to Japan in the summer of 1970, when I was 10. I could not help being acutely aware (nhận thức sâu sắc) that I was living in a country my grandfather had once tried to blow to smithereens. By then, I had already gleaned (lượn lặt thông tin) enough during tense family dinners to have more than a few inklings of doubt about what happened to Japan during the vengeful (trả thù, báo thù) summer of 1945. Children sense anything that is amiss.”
