Well, it depends on how it is used and where the user is from.
Blast can mean an explosion "There was a loud blast".
It can also mean exciting and fun "That party was a blast!" and "I had a blast."
It can also be a mild exclamation. "Blast! I dropped the torch and it rolled under the frame!
It can also mean to travel rapidly. "That car just blasted through the neighborhood."
