I agree with the reply above me...

So, according to the lunar calendar, a "fake" blue moon is when two full moons, meaning you can see the moon as a circle and not a cresent, appear in the same month. The tradition started in an article published in the 1950s.

The "real" blue moon is when the moon actually looks blue, usually caused by rust/pollution particles in the sky. It's called "real" because the moon actually is "blue" when you look at it.
