Re: Blasé
I, an almost octogenarian, am also unacquainted with SBD. Slava's "a different age altogether" phrase indicates he is a young sprout.

Re: Blasé
Let's not get too Blasé about life, else we will fail to leave meaningful footprints across the sands of time. Only hard passionate work can do that.

Re: Blasé
This thread's a blast!
But one thing that disturbs me is a hip-hop-inspired tendency of some to use "blahzay-blah" (as it tends to be spelled) in place of "blah-blah," for speech or words not important enough to specify when referring to a conversation (or written material) after the fact. Probably just substituting blasé for blah -- words that can have similar meanings, but they're just using them as syllables without thinking of where it leads...
