A condition where one feels the inexplicable urge to smoke, drink a certain type of alcohol or do a certain drug because of the main character(s) of a TV show they recently watched who use it recurrently throughout the story.
First observed in Peaky Blinders (hence the name) and the massive epidemic of YouTube comments of fans describing their ailment and the symptoms; most notably an impulsive need to light a cigarette alongside Tommy Shelby.

Nobody:
Tommy: Lights a cigarette

Me: Trying to quit smoking for 3 weeks now
*Watches the first episode of the show*
Me: Ah, shit. Here we go again.
Jake: (Watches Peaky Blinders)
Mike: Jake, since when did you start smoking?
Jake: I dunno, man. I've started waking up with a pack of cigarettes in my hand and randomly lighting up. I think I might have the Blinder's flu.

Focusing solely on the wrongdoings committed by the "other" political party, while completely ignoring and/or denying the wrongdoings of one's own political party.

The act of breathing like you’re going into labour whilst inside a vehicle in order to fog the windows and prevent people from seeing you smoke the ganj.
Friend: I’m about to hit this shit. Me: put on the breath blinders/ breath like you’re going into labor before they see us.

A metaphor for the rose-tinted glasses effect that boomers seem to have on their world views and ideals, that ends up spreading to other people who share their social circles. Can infect millenials, Gen-X's, Gen-Z's and even some Gen-C's.
Dad always kept going on and on about how great America is, and how we have freedom and we should be proud, despite the fact that guns don't keep us safe, in fact more people are killed by guns in America than anywhere else in the world. Pop really needs to take off his boomer blinders and look at the world from reality.

Perjorative. A failed attempt to channel vintage gangster look as popularised by UK TV series Peaky Blinders by corpulent man or lard arse.
Basically a flesh ball in a vintage waist coat, brouges and a flat cap.
