@Mihia Longman says what the blazes is old-fashioned; is is true of what the blue blazes too? Canonicalization (talk) 20:45, 6 July 2019 (UTC)Reply

@Canonicalization: In Britain, I would say "old-fashioned" is too strong for either, although young people probably use these expressions less than older people. However, now you've mentioned blazes, I'm wondering whether we really need this separate entry at all, since at blazes it says "For the sense of hell, a very common intensifier is 'blue'." Also, the definition there is much simpler. Mihia (talk) 21:02, 6 July 2019 (UTC)Reply
