      What’s a blue assed fly? Serious question.

      Maybe so. Maybe not

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

              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

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