One that I usually mutter but that no one ever gets: “John Wayne was a fag.” ---

I’ve always understood “blow off” in the sense your friend meant, in other words to ignore something or to forget. It’s never caused me any confusion when someone says it, nor have I ever confused anybody when I used it. It seemed universal to me, no matter what part of the country I’ve been in. ---

I didn’t actually know what it means when I started using it…and still I really don’t. I have no idea where I heard the phrase (since I am now certain I didn’t make it up) and the explanation I gave people…the one above…is something I just made up using my head/logic. Apparently I was right… > > So now you’re referencing my post referencing your own post because I knew that you knew what you were saying even though you didn’t know that you knew what you were saying? Is that what you’re saying? > > Because in that case, you clearly know what you’re saying. I say!
