What is the origin of the idiom "blue blood" and when to use it?

The origin of the idiom "blue blood" can be traced back to medieval Europe. The phrase originated from the belief that the nobility had a fairer or paler complexion, which made their veins appear more prominent and bluer in color. This physical characteristic was attributed to their higher social standing and noble lineage. The term "blue blood" was used to distinguish the nobility from the commoners, who were believed to have less visible veins and a redder complexion. This phrase is commonly used when referring to individuals who come from families with a long-standing history of wealth, privilege, and influence. It can be seen in conversations about royalty, aristocrats, and prominent families with generational wealth.

Who is a "surrogate mother"?

A surrogate mother is a woman who agrees to carry and give birth to a baby for another person or couple who cannot have a baby themselves. She may use her own egg, the intended mother's egg, or a donated egg to become pregnant, and usually, the sperm of the intended father or a donor is used. After the baby is born, the surrogate mother hands the baby over to the intended parents.
