An older British slang phrase for lurid, melodramatic, or sensationalist writing — the kind of overwrought romanticism that prioritizes shock and spectacle over substance. Think purple prose cranked to eleven, gothic emotion, and theatrical excess. The term draws on the theatrical use of blue-colored flames for dramatic effect in nineteenth-century stage productions, where 'blue fire' created an eerie, supernatural atmosphere. Figuratively, it came to mean anything exaggerated for dramatic impact.
(UK, slang, dated) Sensational romanticism.
(UK, rowing) A member of the Cambridge rowing team.
