My 21 year old son had to explain one word combination to me as I had never heard of these two words used together to mean anything special. He was like “you don’t know this!?!?” Sorry, son, I stopped learning anything in the popular culture at the end of the last century. :shock: :oops: :?

First 2 came easy. Not a clue on the last 2. Still not sure what the blue connection is. And how the hell is uncanny a part of the group it is in?

That's funny because I had no clue what blue category was. Even when it was all that was left!

The blue category literally jumped off the page for me today. I frequently use all four words in that context. Might be a regional thing or something like that. I lived in a completely different region once upon a time and never remember anyone using those words in that context.

That's interesting. I had never thought of regional dialect differences but I bet that plays a part
