No boots cause I'm running around like a blue arsed fly doing groceries, not working.

What’s a blue assed fly? Serious question.

[neph93]

Something than runs about like a beer loving Belgian. (Semi-serious answer… [emoji23]).

Thank you guys. All this time I thought the color of floes were just random. Pretty stupid if
Me in retrospect

It's a saying… Just means you're busy... Blue arsed fly => can't sit down => running around...

That's how I interpreted it... Lifted it from a The 4 Skins lyric...

I think the saying is based on the blue bottle fly that is know to buzz around erratically not really seeming to get much done

[Seul]

Aaah I see… That makes (much more) sense...

Bottle & Glass - Arse

Hence Blue Bottle becomes Blue Arsed… cockney slang which sadly I'm well versed in..

[Seul]

I only know "plastic gangster" and "to have a butcher's"…

@Matty123  the one thing faster than a blue arsed fly is a blue arsed fly that's chasing shit off a shovel

Cockney rhyming slang was used bet costermongers (street traders) all over London, including Sarf London as a way of speaking to each other without being understood. Just as much to set prices for punter's as avoid the police feeling their collars

[neph93]

Too busy to get a proper WAYWT (which is a shame because it was the first wear day for the Greatest Jacket Ever) but Eddie in Wescos makes up for it…
