Can anybody give me a good explanation of -blam!-
What is this?
Where did it come from?
Is it a verb or what?

Thanks

:-)

Yea, but I think the word came from something...
I've been trying to remember it, since I know that someone explained it awhile ago, but looking through these forums for that one post is just too much work.

Blam was the project name for Halo before it became known as Halo.

I thought it was called "Dance", but I really don't know.

Yeah, I've read it here on Bungie.net, but I don't remember where.

So if that is the origin of the word, what is it's current meaning/usage?

Try saying a bad word. its a censor. like when you stub your toe you have to say -Blam!-

Blam originated from Bungie's usage of the word during particularly heated multiplayer battles, replacing vulgar profanities with a nice sounding word. Which is what it does now.
