It means expression, like "d@mn!", "sh#t!" or so... I think it appeared first like censored version of "Бл#". (там на конце должна быть "я")
Please, correct my mistakes, except for the cases I misspell something on purpose!
hahaa... ok... that makes sense now
spasibo!
Not at all, it has nothing to do with that!Originally Posted by Basil77

Oh, really??! May be you can explain the slang meaning of this word for tendu then?Originally Posted by Remyisme
Btw, I'v meant the appearance of that meaning, not the word itself.

yes, please do explain ....Originally Posted by Remyisme
Correct.Originally Posted by Basil77
Well, I don't know what to say. I want to say thanks to the Academy, to Mama, to Papa and to my dog. I love you all.
Well, I wouldn't be so critical. I think that Basil77 is right in saying that блин can be used as a substitute for expressions like дамн, щит (looks cool!!)) etc. but you're right - though partly. Блин is also used to mean the following:Originally Posted by Remyisme
-И он, блин, представляешь себе, пошёл всё-таки туда.
-Can you imagine that he eventually went there????
I don't think that you can put 'd@mn' or any other synomym of 'd@mn' for that matter, in the above sentence.

But we could put "Бл#".Originally Posted by ReDSanchous
That's right. I think that Бл% and Блин are interchangeable in the majority of cases.Originally Posted by Wowik

Like say, "sh!t" and "shoot" in EnglishOriginally Posted by ReDSanchous

To be honest, I couldn't fathom what you meant by 'shoot' for some time. I even had to consult an English dictionary to discover that 'shoot' means 'sh*it' in American English.

Definitely. frankly, I am much more interested in British English. Anyhow, it's useful to know both American and British dialects.Originally Posted by charlestonian

Don't shoot me! Please DON'T!

Shoot - эвфемизм.
Блин -- тоже эвфемизм.
Я вспомнил, как мы в детстве, если кто-нибудь говорил "блин!", говорили в ответ: "Не блин, а оладушек".
