estallar, verb
to explode; to burst; to break out
The key idea behind estallar is an explosion of some kind, either literal or metaphorical.
For example:
La bomba estalló justo en medio de la mezquita.
The bomb exploded right in the middle of the mosque.
**This is not a joke. This was seriously the example sentence in my Spanish word of the day email. I love learning Spanish. I'm just sad I'm only learning this phrase now. It would have been so useful when I met those people from Spain in Vietnam...
