I don't know where I came up with "hue and drang" but it appears that I'm combining stock phrases.
The hue comes from hue and cry.
The drang comes from sturm und drang.
I went looking for the etymology of hue and drang and discovered that it's found only on an obscure blog originating from Florida.
In other words, ME.
They're not even remotely related phrases in meaning!
The thing is, I am pretty sure I'm repeating someone else who said it enough for it to stick in my memory and become part of my vernacular.
