a blunt instrument.
a blunt New England farmer.
a forthright approach to the problem.
a point-blank accusation.
blunt talking and straight shooting.
blunt the knives.
blunted emotions.
deaden a sound.
facing the stark reality of the deadline.
forthright criticism.
I gave them my candid opinion.
it is possible to be outspoken without being rude.
plainspoken and to the point.
tell me what you think--and you may just as well be frank.
Terror blunted her feelings.
the blunt truth.
the crude facts.
The shock numbed her senses.
thick marks made by a blunt pencil.
Too much cutting dulls the knife's edge.
