blackwash means: A whitewash victory for the West Indies cricket team. Started in the 1984-86 "Blackwash" series of the West Indian cricket team in England in 1984.. Register: very informal, slang. Suitable only for casual conversation, chat and social media. Do not use in business, academic or news writing. A common learner mistake is using the word in a register it does not fit, or assuming a single global meaning; native speakers immediately notice when slang appears in formal contexts, so always check the surrounding register before producing it yourself.
