American slang. The origins couldnβt have been earlier than the 1920βs. The San Francisco invention of the Popsicle was in 1924. βLetβs blow this jointβ (leave this less than interesting place) may have been first and later the many variations including "Let's blow this fire-trap" or βLet's blow this popcorn standβ. In some parts of the U.S. a soda shop was called a pop stand so the phrase may have originated with βletβs blow this pop standβ.
