When you call someone blasé, you mean they are not or worried by things that would impress most people. A famous guest, a fancy meal, a prize — they shrug, as if they have already had too much of that kind of thing. It is not the same as being simply bored. Bored is empty; blasé is cooler and a little proud: I have seen this already, so I will not light up. People often use it with a slight sting, as if the person is performing “I am too used to this.” You hear it more in writing and in sharp comments than in the school corridor, and it still feels a bit French, a bit grown-up. It is almost never a compliment. You may also see it written blase, without the accent; the French spelling blasé is the original one. Say it roughly “blah-ZAY.”
見怪不怪；一副什麼都見過、提不起勁的樣子
組成Borrowed whole from French blasé, the past form of blaser, “to blunt, to dull.” French took that from Middle Dutch blâsen, “to blow.” Older still it belongs to a Germanic “blow” family (German blasen; English blast, and an old “blow” sense of blaze — not the fire). English did not build this word from pieces; it took the French word as it was.

- It is the habit of heartlessly pecking at these that shows a soul that is blasé. Of late, for example, it has been a fashion with a small minority of British writers to assert their culture by a very supercilious demeanour towards an idea which ought, beyond all others, to be sacred in this island—the idea of Liberty.
