blue collar holler 

A whistle, "cat call", yelp, suggestive comment, greeting or gesture, or any harassment of the sexual kind, directed at a lady from a blue collar worker while on the job. The most familiar blue collar hollers come from construction workers or truck drivers and travel a safe, non-confrontational distance. The motivation behind a blue collar holler is unknown, though many theories have been discussed. Some wonder if a date or even sex is expected from it, but others says it is purely to make a woman feel uncomfortable.
Someone just whistled at me from the top of that building that's under construction. Talk about a blue collar holler!

That blue collar holler that I recieved from that man driving a plumber's van made me feel uncomfortable and disgusting on the inside. I'm pretty sure he had a mullet, but I can't be sure since he was driving away.

My husband and I met in New York when he blue collar hollered me.

Blatantly lying to others in front of the accused, about an action you know you committed, but have placed the blame on another.
I used a spool of cable wire as a leash for my friend's dog and ever since have blatantly denied it and blamed the dog's owner. He's tried to explain the truth ever since, in vain. Dog-collaring him has become a regular occurrence when we are together.
