/Sounds like "DOH" (as in "door") + "lahr" (as in "lava") + the English word "blue" (same pronunciation)/
The US dollar traded on Argentina's parallel or informal market, outside the official exchange rate. "Blue" comes from the color of the bill. The blue rate often differs dramatically from the official rate and is a constant topic of conversation in everyday Argentine life.
“What's the blue rate today? I need to exchange some bills before the weekend.”
“They paid me in blue dollars so I got a better exchange rate.”
