I've heard and read many euphemisms for blowing up an engine but I learned a new one from Scott Manley in his video on the Blue Origins rocket failure today. He zoomed in on the exhaust right before the failure and pointed out a couple of bright flashes and said that they were a sign of an "engine rich exhaust" . Having broken off an exhaust valve head and scorched a piston or two myself I feel pretty sympathetic towards those rocket engineers.
