Phrase out of the blue
Text In this podcast, the phrase "out of the blue" means unexpectedly or suddenly: "His decision to run in a marathon came out of the blue." The phrase "to feel blue" means to feel depressed, or to feel very sad, sometimes without any reason: "Nancy felt blue for months after her divorce." The phrase "once in a blue moon" means very rarely: "I love to eat ice cream, but I eat it only once in a blue moon." Finally, the phrase "to do something until (one) is blue in the face" means to try to do something for a very long time, but not be successful: "You can try to fly until you're blue in the face, but it's impossible and it's never going to happen."
