Huey's prominence

[Greg Wright]

<quote>That's a new one on this American, but I don't discount it.  It
might  
have been a regionalism.  I've only ever heard it used as a reference  
to cussing.  In that, "blue" is a metaphor for using vulgar  
language.  It is also the color used when cussing so foully as to  
"turn the air blue."</quote>

I can verify that it's an expression I've come across down here in New
Zealand/Australia. It's not too common these days but I've been around a
few years. Which ends my yearly contribution to the list. :-)
