It means that the head gasket (which is the seal between the engine block and the head(s)) has failed. This often happens as the result of a rough running engine putting a lot of stress on the gasket, or simply from old age. This failure tends to present itself as a sudden and occasionally violent breaking of the afore mentioned seal thus giving it the term "blown".
