      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

        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..

                        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
