Hi Kathy!,

F.Y.I.

Blighty is a British English slang term for Britain, deriving from the Hindustani word vilāyatī (विलायती) (pronounced bilāti in many Indian dialects and languages) meaning a foreigner, a word which itself is derived from the Arabic word wilayat, meaning a kingdom or ministry.

"The pale" as in "He's beyond the pale", meaning 'He's gone too far' refers to when the Britsh Empire was coloured (not colored!) pink (pale), on the old maps.
When a man was beyond the pale, he was out of reach, not under the Crown's jurisdiction.

Hope that helps some.

Luv ya,
Grape x
