Blueblood 

Slang term for a wealthy retiree in the New England area. Usually Republican, and almost always fancy themselves salt-of-the-earth folks no matter how transparent a ruse it may be. Almost always used in a derisive fashion.

It seems like New Hampshire gets more and more bluebloods moving in every single year.

Blueblood 

A native of the state of Ohio that is a fan of the University of Michigan's football program.

The "blue" part of the word stems from the fact that U of M's school colors are maize and blue. Also, its fans will cheer, "Go Blue" to show support for their team. The "blood" part is meant to define the emotion of passion that all people have to some extent. As a compound word its intent is to imply that a blueblood's passions are somehow tainted and/or inappropriate. Transversely, Ohio State's school colors are scarlett and gray. As most Ohioans that watch collegiate football are supporters of the Ohio State Buckeyes, and as Michigan is Ohio State's archrival, the term is intended to express a negative, ostrasizing connotation.

" We don't want you bluebloods here anyway! We don't give a damn for the whole state of Michigan!"

blue blood

From the medieval European belief that royalty and nobility had blue blood; the elite had enough power and wealth that they could afford to have peasants and the urban poor do their dirty work for them- since the aristocrats were able to stay inside and avoid long hours in the fields (and the sunlight), they were often so pale that their blue veins showed under their translucent skin, thus leading people to believe that their blood was blue.

Now it generally refers to people from old money: families who have been wealthy aristocrats for generations on generations.

The blue blood elite have long been discouraged from intermarrying with commoners, lest their pure bloodlines be contaminated, ignoring the degenerative effects of inbreeding.

Project Bluebook 

The last publicly acknowledged USAF investigation into UFOs, which started in March 1952. Its aims were to find explanations for UFO sightings, to assess whether they were a threat to national security, and to determine if the UFOs used advanced technology from which the US could learn. Reports were collected, analyzed and filed according to their results. No-one noticed anything was wrong with the project until one of the people on the investigation team sent in his own sighting. It was filed, but when he wanted to refer back to his report, it had disappeared. He then alleged that any reports that were both unexplained and could cause public uproar were siphoned off out of Blue Book to somewhere else higher up in authority, a claim that ufologists now see as fact. Blue Book was wound up in 1969 as a result of the Condon Report and one of its investigators, Dr J. Allen Hynek, went on to form the first scientific based UFO group, the Center for UFO Studies, in 1973.

After closing Project Blue Book the US
Air Force has not publicly acknowledged any further interest in UFO sightings.

blue blood

Translated from the old Spanish phrase "sangre azul", blue blood derives from the Medieval belief in Europe (among other places) that the blood of the royalty and nobility was blue; since the royal family and aristocrats were wealthy and powerful enough to pay commoners to labor in the fields for them, their skin was translucent and pale enough for their blue veins to stand out.

It also refers to old money families: families that have been aristocrats for many generations.

The blue blood disdainfully looked upon the unrefined manners of the nouveau riche (aka "new money").

The blue blood of the elite could not be tainted by the blood of commoners, lest the whole line be polluted (disregarding the risks of inbreeding).

blue blood

Comes from the medieval belief that aristocratic blood was blue. Usually used talking about nobelty and royal family members.

There's too much blue blood in this family! They really should mix with the common people otherwise they'll degenerate...

Bluebook 

"A Uniform System of Citation" used during law school. Commonly referred to as "bitchbook" and is often the bane of law student's existence. Law Reviews often employ the Bluebook citation metho.

My professor requires that I learn Bluebook citation for my appellate brief although it is completely different from the citation method I will use after I graduate from law school.
