Why “counterblast” is a great word
COUNTERBLAST — [Noun] A forceful and unrestrained verbal or written response that strongly refutes or denounces a previous statement or work. From the English prefix counter- (meaning "against" or "in opposition") + blast (meaning "a violent gust of wind" or figuratively "a vehement outburst"). First recorded in 1560–70, notably in King James I's 1604 work "A Counterblaste to Tobacco". Unlike a "rebuttal," which offers a reasoned reply, or a "critique," which can be a balanced analysis, a counterblast is opposition distilled to its most vehement form. It is the ink-splattered broadside nailed to the market cross, the king's own furious decree anathematizing a novel vice, the searing polemic that leaves the page smelling of cordite—a gale of words meant not to clear the air, but to obliterate the opposing edifice.
