(alt-of, alternative) Alternative form of bolt from the blue.
One day while I was working at my full-time job, David called me. He said, "I don't like all the trouble you're having with your house, and I'd like to do something for you." It came as a bolt out of the blue. I tried to put him off, feeling embarrassed, but David made it easy to accept his beneficence.
