Word / Phrase of the Day

Feeling Blue

The phrase "feeling blue" is commonly used to describe sadness or melancholy, and its origins are often linked to nautical traditions. Nautical Origin: In maritime tradition, when a ship lost its captain, the crew would raise blue flags and paint a blue stripe along the hull to signal mourning. This custom is thought to have contributed to the association of blue with sadness and loss, which may have influenced the phrase "feeling blue."
