The intro 

(Listening Comprehension)

When you have been blown off, it means that your friends cancelled the meeting before the meeting took place. For example, Peter scheduled to meet me at 7 o'clock for dinner, but at 5 o'clock Peter sent me a massage to say, "Sorry Ken, I can't make it. Let's meet another time." In that case, I have been blown off. I have been blown off, or Peter blew me off. Peter blew me off.

Using the same example, Peter and I scheduled to meet at 7 o'clock, but at half past 7, Peter still hasn't shown up and left me waiting on my own in the restaurant. In that case, Peter stood me up. Peter stood me up.
