Just wondering...
Examples include:
"She kissed me out of the blue"
"The pedestrian came out of the blue"
"He gave me a present out of the blue"
Ect. Ect. Ect.

I once read that the term was coined by fighter pilots. It refers to an enemy plane approaching from above and behind, the blind spot on WWII planes.

Well, maybe by blue whoever invented this expression was referring to the sky..like as if its just somethin that dropped outta the sky, came outta the blue, you know? But this is just my theory...im sorry i dont really know where this expression came from. Hope this helps somewhat though. :)
