        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

        Maybe so. Maybe not

          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..

                          @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
