I heard *blustery* from a part of "Dodgeball". Sorry for the lack of context.

Could anyone hazard a guess at how it might have been used?


blus�ter [ bl�stər ]


verb (past blus�tered, past participle blus�tered, present participle blus�ter�ing, 3rd person present singular blus�ters)

1. transitive and intransitive verb speak or utter loudly or arrogantly: to speak loudly, boisterously, or arrogantly, or to say something in this way


2. transitive and intransitive verb behave in bullying way: to behave or do something in a bullying or threatening way


3. intransitive verb blow loudly in gusts: to blow in loud gusts ( refers to wind )

[bud]

Probably 2, and if not, then 1. They are very similar. It's unlikely that blustery weather was meant.
