    There was a trick question in there! The one dealing with murder. I’ve never heard of anyone calling it “blue murder.” However, I’ve heard of “bloody murder” so that’s why I chose red blood is red… Right?

    Never heard of a “blue light special” (though I’ve heard of a “blue plate special”). Maybe it’s an American thing.
