We're sorry, we could not find your phrase in the dictionary.

I might have misinterpreted the thread of the post here - but here in Australia "blue heelers" is a colloquialism for cattle dogs - the " blue ones" - the ones that "nip" at the feet of the sheep - to round them up. It is also a (somewhat) derogatory term for the police, for example "bloody blue heelers!", you know, if they pull you over for speeding or something...

Where would that come from? I have found some of the Spanish to English translations amusing. I hope it isn't as bad the other way as this example!
