what does Блин mean as a slang word?
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") :)
hahaa... ok... that makes sense now ;)
spasibo!
Not at all, it has nothing to do with that!Quote:

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#". :-)Quote:

See? You are learning :wink:Quote:

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