The answer is "Yes, they should" However, although I understood your question, blower has 6 other meanings before the slang one you meant. Many non-native English users (including my wife) might not have understood it. blow·er [bloh-er] noun 1. a person or thing that blows. 2. a machine for supplying air at a moderate pressure, as to supply forced drafts or supercharge and scavenge diesel engines. 3. snowblower. 4. Mining. a jet of firedamp issuing from a crevice. 5. Slang. a braggart. 6. supercharger. 7. Chiefly British Slang. a telephone.
