What does "It's been a blast' mean? I watched a video about internal audit interview. In the video, the auditor asked the clerk some question. At the end of the interview, the auditor said "that's all my questions". The clerk said "It's been a blast." What did the clerk mean? Was the clerk get annoyed?

"Blast" is slang for a very exciting or pleasurable experience or event. So it means that the clerk was very happy to be interviewed. But people (especially actors and celebrities) aren't always sincere when they say this. It may be just a cool way of saying something polite to end the interview, like "thank you" or "my pleasure".

I think that Viviane has the best description here. There usually is an element of 'exciting' when you use 'blast', and in this case, possibly even more than polite, I think it may even have been said sarcastically/facetiously. You would probably be able to tell that from the facial expression and body language on the video.

The clerk was happy. When you've spent a great time w/ someone you say "it was a blast" or " I had blast" Robbie Williams uses the expression in one of his songs. "No regrets", I think

It's a colloquial expression meaning that the speaker really enjoyed themselves or had a lot of fun, so the clerk in that situation wasn't annoyed at all :)

Hello, My name is maris, which is really nice to get on this site, I took interest in you after reading your profile at (www.italki.com). (maris_1love@yahoo.com) I believe age and distance has nothing to do with love, so just drop me an email through my private e-mail address (maris_1love@yahoo.com), so that we can communicate better and I send you my images. Thank you. maris.
