The Blunt Sword and YAAAAAAAAAAAAHOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

Odd post title, I know.
The blunt sword part refers to "to be blunt", the expression. Being blunt means being perfectly honest and telling exactly what you think. For example, imagine a guy asked you to the school dance next week. If you didn't like him, the blunt answer would be to simply tell him "I don't like you, so no." But anyways, I think it's kind of a contradictory expression, because a blunt sword, if thrust into someone's side, would hurt less than a sharp one. Blunt answers are generally more hurtful ones. Also, blunt swords are less intense, clear, and, well, sharp, than blunt ones. So why, oh why, do we use the expression blunt to mean something the exact opposite? Just my little musing.

Now, for the YAAAAAAAAAHOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!! part. That yahoo was for only having 1/2 a day of school left. Tomorrow at noon I can bask in the sun of late nights, sleeping in till 9:30, writing, camping, plane-flying (well being in one), and the warm, Hawaii-style days. SUMMMER!!!!!!!!!!!!
TTYL!
