Can 燃える be used with the context of being embarassed?


I was just wondering if 燃える could be used in a context where someone gets
embarassed to the point where they "burn up." Would it be taken literally or
could it be used as an idiom?




I've never heard it used In that sense. In that case, you would say
顔{かお}から火{ひ}が出{で}そう (I feel like fire is going to come out of my face).
