| Sep 24, 2018 at 13:44 | comment | added | Darren Ringer | I'd never heard "go blue" said to mean a reference to "blue movies" as in pornographic films until now. Wikipedia traces the term's origin (in the context of something "adult" or "risque") to the 1890's at the earliest, and even the answer you linked admits the usage goes back to "the early 1800's", which excludes the possibility that its etymological origins are in such a reference. Regardless, it's not the phrase used here; Laurel's answer below is likely correct that this usage is completely irrelevant to the speech in question. | |
