        No no no I have to disappoint you from the very outset. This blog is not a philosophical reflection about how diverse and colorful our world is or any report on modern research revealing the  influence colors have on our lives. Nothing like that. This is just another boring and may be absolutely unnecessary    english lesson. (hope you didn’t forget, we are on englishbaby!!) 

Well  … there are a large number of  expressions in english language involving different colors.

Let’s start from  the ‘blue’ :  

True blue –loyal

Feeling blue - down–hearted, feeling unhappy

Bolt from the blue – an unexpected event

Once in a blue moon- rarely or seldom

Singing the blues –acting or feeling sad

Out of the blue – completely unexpected

Black and blue – be badly bruised

Scream blue murder – make a lot of fuss; shout loudly and emotionally in protest

The boys in blue – the uniformed police

A blue-eyed boy – a young man admired because he is successful

Blue in the face – being very emotional, exited

Make the air blue – to swear, curse

To drink till all's blue – to be utterly drunk

    Red, green, black and white are coming next….

    If you can add any ‘blue’ , you are welcome !!
