Both Uses of
blithe
in
Carrie, by Stephen King
- Bitchin' good," Chris said a little too blithely.†
blithely = in a carefree and happy manner -- often unaware of or ignoring something that should be of concern
- She was beginning to realize that her power was perhaps not so different from the powers of Indian fakirs, who stroll across hot coals, run needles into their eyes, or blithely bury themselves for periods up to six weeks.†
