Blue-eyed world

Posted by ESC on November 12, 2003

Wonder what the origin of this phrase is:

BLUE-EYED WORLD - "Whatever in the blue-eyed world gave you the idea that 'National Geographic' readers like artsy, out-of-focus photographs? Josiah Manning, Aurora, Missouri." Irate letter-to-the-editor in National Geographic, October 2003.

It reminds me of:

WIDE, WIDE WORLD OF SPORTS - "What in the wide, wide world of sports is a-goin' on here?" Taggart, played by Slim Pickens, anachronistically referring to ABC's "Wide World of Sports," hosted by Jim McKay, which premiered in 1961. "Blazing Saddles" .
