A previously existing phrase that became exceedingly popular in the Northeast following the massive "Northeast Blackout of 2003" that originated in Ontario. The blackout affected parts of Ohio, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Massachusetts, Connecticut and Rhode Island for a total of 45 million Americans. While US officials blamed Canada for the outage, Canadian officials blamed several US states including New York and Pennsylvania.

Get the Blame-Surgeonmug. A contractor, employee or provider who is engaged by a party simply so that party can point at them at a later juncture should anything go wrong.

We had KPMG come in and perform analysis on our project. They said all the right things, and we knew they would, but we were just investing in a blame shield should things go south down the track.

Get the blame shieldmug. Blind Blame (otherwise known as Blindfolded Blame) is when someone accuses something or someone else of something that is actually the fault of either the Blind Blamer's own short-comings, or a lack of understanding the other side's perspective/reasoning. The lack of both self-reflection and seeing other perspectives makes it a form of Miserablism, and is most done by students and some political activists.
Examples of Blind Blame include:
• Students (who dont pay attention or study any good) blaming teachers or the education system for their bad grades, without thinking about 1: if they maybe didnt study well, didnt pay attention or just never bothered asking questions, or 2: the reasons the teacher has for giving them that grade, and the reasons the education system has for working the way it does.
• Political activists (who are bad with money and lack good work ethics) blaming capitalism for why they're poor and calling for communism, despite not taking into account 1: their own financial decisions and how their resumé looks in current job market, or 2: why communism usually leads to even more poverty and how capitalism, while not perfect, has more opportunities for monetary success
Note: remember that these examples are not saying that blaming teachers or politicians is always Blind Blame. There's a reason I specified "who dont pay attention" and "who lack good work ethics" in these subjects. Its just those subjects with these traits that I am reffering to

Get the Blind Blamemug. by Sully5 November 24, 2021
Get the Trump Blamemug. A term used amongst players of the Guilty Gear game franchise to describe the actions of a person who, in their eyes, is choosing to complain about the game and its features rather than improving.
Originates in reference to the round into speech, with the full line being "Mankind knew they could not change society, so instead of reflecting on themselves, they blamed the beasts"
As such, it's also a way of telling a person to go reflect on their style of playing and reconsider themselves.
