Meaning/Usage: Out of nowhere; spontaneously(莫名其妙的,不由自主地)
Explanation: Although "blue" represents being sad, it is also commonly used to represent the ocean or the sky. Both are extremely big. If someone says to look for something that is in the sky or the ocean, there is no way to know where. Therefore, this phrase was created to represent coming out of nowhere.
