No, this doesn’t mean “let’s take a trip to the department store and try on some clothes.” Telling a group of friends “Let’s blouse from this joint” meant it’s time to get out of there!
The etymology of this isn’t entirely clear. However, the image of a woman’s blouse ruffling and whipping as a car whizzes by on a busy street lends itself to this phrase.
