When we say that someone cries out blue murder when we feel that he/she is making a hue and cry about nothing significant. Nobody is quite sure why this idiom has evolved so; it is possible that the fuss was so significant that it seemed that the alarmist was in a 'Blue' funk or it may have a connection with"bloody murder". Again it may be that the murder was so cold-blooded that it chilled the observer 'blue'!!
