It is, surely, no more than an elaboration of _blow_: to leave. Nor is it
especially new.

1967-8 Baker et al  _College Undergraduate Slang Study_ 83: Blow this
garage - Leave a place

1996 Eble _Slang & Sociability_ 51: These are a few of the many ways that a
college student can say ‘leave’: blow, blow this popsicle stand, [etc.]
