0 Usually, the expression is "until he is blue in the face." I believe this comes from the blue-like color you turn when you don't get enough oxygen. So it means you can talk until you have used up all your breath (a figurative thing to say, since no one really stops breathing when then talk), but it won't have any effect. 02 br
