Not exactly: Go to the following links and you will understand what a blunder
is.

http://chess.about.com/cs/reference/g/bldefblu.htm

http://www.worldchessnetwork.com/English/chessNews/articles/blunders-1.php

And this especial "kind of blunder": the last blunder
http://www.xs4all.nl/~timkr/chess2/resigntxt.htm

Perhaps, you will understand what a blunder means. :)
