OP Not to mention, "she blew my nose then she blew my mind"
I'd always just 'understood' it too, until I started thinking about the phrase. Funny how 'blown away' implies strong impressive forces while 'blown off' immediately conjures up the image of an aphid being casually blown off someone's collar (although I guess the wind-speed from the aphid's perspective is still pretty impressive)
Hi Jackie! Older, yes but probably far less mature now that I spend all my time making kids books and games...
