I'll be waiting

I searched !!!

I will give a clue for those who want to have a go and guess


According to popular usage, a blue moon refers to the second full moon that occurs in any calendar month. On average, there will be 41 months that have two full moons in every century. By that calculation 'once in a blue moon' means once every two-and-a-half years.

Thanx Samar for the useful clue u gave
so what about now?

It's easy!

very easy to guess

Samar can u guess why there's no response?
is't difficult?

May be because of Ramadan u know everyone is busy these final days .

maybe
b) very rarely
!!

woooooooooooooow
excellent Shatha
correct answer

wait me 4 more details

This common expression is one of my favourites because it's such a nice, poetic image. It's usage has changed slightly over the years though. A long time ago, it meant 'never', but the modern meaning is 'very rarely'. There is also an alcoholic cocktail and an Elvis Presley song called 'Blue Moon', but they aren't directly connected to this expression.

yessss shatha got it :D

thanx gzal for da details

here is a dialogue

A: Lovely flowers! Are they from Michael?

B: Yes! Isn't he sweet!

A: You're lucky! I wish Paul was more romantic.

B: Doesn't he ever surprise you with flowers?

A: Well, maybe once in a blue moon, but not very often!


Hope u understand!
