Reply to: Seen only once - BLADE by j
As any trusty ol' dictionary will state, Blade is an expression denoting, inter alia, the cutting part of an instrument, the leaf of a plant, the scapula, and a dashing and/or adventuresome and/or gay fellow.
The word's etymology draws from the old English “blæd” (meaning leaf) which in turn was borrowed from the Latin “folium” and the Greek “phyllon”.
