blue streak
Rapid continuous speech
Blue streak describes something remarkably fast or prolonged.
To talk a blue streak is to speak rapidly and at length without pause.
To curse a blue streak is to swear profusely.
The phrase evokes a flash of color left by swift motion—lightning, perhaps, or something moving too fast to see clearly.
