What does BLASE mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Unimpressed, indifferent, or bored as a result of being overfamiliar with something that would normally excite interest, pleasure, or concern.
A blase reaction is not simple calm but a kind of practised indifference, as when a seasoned traveller stays blase about a view that leaves first-time visitors amazed. The word entered English from French, where it originally suggested someone worn out or sated by pleasure, and it kept that faint suggestion of jaded overexposure rather than natural coolness. Writers often use blase with a slightly critical edge, implying that the person's lack of reaction is a little unfeeling or affected rather than admirable.
How BLASE is used
Used in everyday and literary writing to describe a jaded or unimpressed attitude, often with a mildly critical edge.
