Hello.
I would like to know if "security blanket " is a well-known term in the four corners of the world?
Do the following sentences illustrate the accuracy of the usage?
1. Her smell is my security blanket. Whenever I think of her, I will spray her perfume in the room.
2. When I get nervous on stage, I will close my eyes and think of my parents for a few seconds to calm myself. They are my security blanket.
3. Having a sufficient contingency fund is my security blanket for the unpredictable economy.
4. The boy needs his security blanket when he goes to bed. Where is the bloody blanket? (Does this sentence create ambiguity?)
5. I know you think your home is a security blanket and you are in your comfort zone but you really need to get out there and socialise. This is what people do!
Thank you
