blind loyalty

Blind loyalty involves being loyal to a person or cause despite the damage the person or cause does to himself or herself or others. Excusing bad behaviour in the name of protecting allegiance to another seems honourable at first, but is ultimately dangerous as silence is a form of collusion. Many people feel torn between retaining loyalty to a cause or group and risking rejection or ostracisim or personal attack by outing misconduct. Blind loyalty involves a form of cognitive dissonance where a person sees evidence of a problem or bad behaviour and then turns a blind eye to the truth in favour of keeping a positive image of the person or cause. Knowing in your gut that something is wrong, and yet acting as if everything is fine. The classic example is a battered woman who protects her partner when police arrive in answer to a domestic violence call. Think of priests covering for sexual abuse among their colleagues, mothers denying incest in favour of protecting their husbands, and teachers turning a blind eye to abusive conduct by their peers to comprehend that "Loyalty is only a virtue if the person or cause is good".

"You guys are insane. Working like dogs and retaining blind loyalty to some jerk of a boss who doesn't give a toss about you."

Titty-blinded

Titty-blinded is when an individual makes an ill-informed decision due to the presence of breasts (titties) in the area. This can range from wanting to hit up a girl that is otherwise uninteresting/bitchy, but is attractive (usually nice tits) to merely being influenced into a decision because of women in the vicinity.

Similar to BTS, but not exclusively due to "big tits."

Oftentimes, the expression can be used by waving a hand in front of the face (a la NBA player DeShawn Stevenson's "I can't feel my face" motion) while expressing that an individual has been "titty-blinded." The motion can also be used without saying the phrase out loud to express the symptom more covertly.

"Yo, Angela is a bitch. I can't believe you're trying to hit that up. You're titty-blinded!"

"Don't get titty-blinded by that girl. She's trouble."

"Why did you decide to go to that lame bar? Were you titty-blinded?"
