COLORFUL LANGUAGE

Don't get excited--nothing untoward here. Today, Thursday's Child is going to look at some colors in language. Ready? 

But first, if you have a box of crayons--any brand, any number--you might want to get it out and look at the contents while we tiptoe through the list.

Here are some common American English phrases that use colors:

Beet Red - color of one's face when embarrassed

In the Red - bad news for your bank account

Yellow through and through - you didn't want to be that!

Out of the Blue - never saw that one coming!

Feelin' Blue - not a good place to be

In the Pink - much nicer than feelin' Blue

Green around the gills - something upset you

In the Black - the way you want your bank account to be

White Knight - everyone needs one of those sometimes

Browned Off - not quite a full-on fit/tantrum

Brown Nose - you definitely don't want one of those!

Black out/Brown out/White out - we've got them all sometimes, when the weather goes wonky

-----

Hope these reminders tickled your memory a bit. One of these days, we'll look at some songs that deal with colors--so put your thinking caps on!

Blessings,

Thursday's Child
