I tried, but I failed.

On Saturday, in a bus , I was listening what four black boys are saying.
They were so loud, that I could hear only their voices. However, as title showed, I totally failed.
Instead of natives', I got sentence from my book.

*I was drinking soda and it went down the wrong pipe.
This phrase means when we eat food, it pass the respiratory track not the esophagus.
I often experience this because I am impatient.
*We had a blast.
It means "we had a really really good time."
Is it common expression?
*He is a total sleazebag and a womanizer
he is a really bad guy and playboy ->Is this common??

Both of the phrases you asked about are common, especially "we had a blast." I would say "sleazebag" is more common than "womanizer" but that "womanizer" is more formal or appropriate for discussion between adults.
