There's a 63% chance that blast has been used for 1,000 years and I'm just an idiot, but...


As far as I know, the first time blast was used as an exclamation was in Star Wars, and there was a good reason for it. Blasters. It just isn't WoT. And Sanderson just said "blast" in his twitter, so it's just a word he uses. I had a friend who said it a lot too. It's a popular word for nerds. Not something people would use in WoT, imo.


Mat saying 'saidared' just seems in a whole other class of silly than Saerin saying 'blast'.

However, while RJ would never have written that, it *was* funny in context.
The chief difficulty Alice found at first was in managing her flamingo.
