I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

But I can't explain it at all! Could you help me understand?

(Other definitions for blast that I've seen before include "Mild expletive - sharp explosion" , "Sudden strong gust of wind" , "Effect of explosion" , "Great time: explosion" , "Blow up with explosives" .)
