blue denim Blå denim Explanation: It's the same word in Danish. Denim is originally a colour (from Nimes, "de Nimes") and it now refers to the material used for jeans. As jeans can be other colours, "blue" is often added for clarity. |

blue denim cowboystof Explanation: ... is the Danish equivalent. But denim is also used. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 34 mins (2013-03-22 15:26:25 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- P.S. It is true that nowadays, denim comes in many different colours, but this does not imply that anyone would be in doubt whether 'cowboystof' is actually blue or not. On the contrary. You would only have to state a colour if it was NOT blue. |
