It's been "BLEVE" as long as i've known about it and that's more than thirty years.

"Boiling Liquid Expanding Vapour"

It's the expanding vapour that sudden;y cracks the container and blows out into a huge fuel-air cloud almost instantaneously.

If you're ever around a burning container of flammable liquid and you see the flame "necking down" ... it's too late to run - get under or behind something Very Sturdy

I was thinking the same, as well. And since you mentioned it, I went to the IMDB page for the Princess Bride movie, looking for Miracle Max quotes, but can't find the one I was looking for.

Something like...

Miracle Max pushes air into Wesley's lungs, and pushes on his chest.
Wesley: True love
Inigo Montoya: See? He said "True Love". What can be more noble than this?
Miracle Max: True, nothing is nobler than true love... but that's not what he said: he clearly said "to bleve"... And to bleve means to bluff... You see, he must have been playing poker...

Or something to that effect...

To get it more accurate, I would have to look for my copy of the movie, and check out the scene in question, which is something I don't have time for, currently...

And then, of course, there is the Fire Swamp, and the fireproof Holocaust Cloak.

And Radishes Of Unusual Size (in the Director's Vegan Recut version, at least)

While I'm not subscribed to them, I have watched a number of their videos in the past, and they are indeed quite entertaining.
