dgstone commented on the word out of left blue
My friend Alan uses this phrase regularly. It started as an accidental bastardization of the two phrases "out of the blue" and "out of left field," but no one caught the mistake for years, not even his wife. Because the four words flow so well together, we now shamelessly use this phrase to replace "out of the blue."
