I was wondering what the heck is a “black eye”. Thanks Google find out this idiom in portuguese is “olho roxo” or “purple eye” haushasuahus colorfull
I guess, after a punch, the colour of the bruise looks a bit black, blue and purple, but calling it a black blue purple eye is a bit much. So, maybe the English decided on a black eye, the Germans took the blue and the Portuguese the purple – great fun ☺
