Blase' Day

Another day on Lake Erie. 10/8/2025 dwm

 It's Blasé day. You know this day is for you if you are unimpressed by the fact it is Blasé Day or that there is even a Blasé Day in the first place. 

 Creating the word is credited to the French who, as a people, according to the stereotype, seem unimpressed by most things. But maybe I would be too, if I lived in a beautiful country that is home to many luxuries, especially for the upper class.

 But really, aren't most of us blasé about something? Once we master a skill, like a magic trick, we are unlikely to be surprised or fascinated by someone else's magic.

I didn't see a link, but it seems likely that the adjective, "blah," comes from the word blasé. Blah could be an adjective to describe how blasé people react to things.

Since, fittingly, it is difficult to be impressed about a day dedicated to blasé people; I am more impressed by its path to it's own holiday.

Tom and Ruth Roy, according to the folds at NationalToday.com, are a married couple who have invented 80 fun and quirky holidays. 

One of the creations from their company, Wellcat Holidays, is called "Hoodie-hoo Day" in the Northern Hemisphere. 

I heard about "Hoodie-Hoo" from a good friend when he was hosting a daily radio talk show. To celebrate the day, everyone was encouraged to go outside and holler "Hoodie-hoo" at high-noon to say good-bye to winter. Hoodie-hoo day is celebrated a month before spring.

I'm pretty sure that anyone who could be described as blasé, did NOT celebrate "Hoodie-hoo" day!
