In anticipating failure in poor decision making, especially at the managment level, by preparing in advance a third party to hold responsible and thus avoid accountablity.
CEO: If these third quarter projections turn out to be as bogus as you think, the board will have my ass.
CFO: Maybe we can blame it forward.
CEO: Good thinking. Don't they have a new Director over
at accounting? She's only been on the job a few months.
CFO: Sounds good, I'll set that up. Wanna get a drink?

This is an excuse used to explain why a person has been sleeping in extremely late, usually later every day. The reason for this is because a bed is so extremely comfortable a person has a hard time getting up. This is usually the case for an unemployed individual who is not seeking a job and doesn't have anything to do for the day.
Ashley: What time you get up today?
John: Uhh around 5 pm
Ashley: WTF you woke up at 4 pm yesterday the day is over by the time you even get up!
John: Its not my fault, Blame it on the bed.

Similar to the blame game. The blame train starts with one person blaming another for faults. This will continue along until one person is left to blame, hence, at the end of the blame train. This often occurs at work, and sometimes at home.
Manager: Mike, did you drink all the coffee?
Mike: Nope, that was Jeff.
Manager: Jeff, did you drink all the coffee?
Jeff: No, I'm pretty sure Bob did.
Manager: Bob....I know you drank all the coffee because you're on the end of this blame train. You're fired.
Bob: WTF!?
Mike: Nope, that was Jeff.
Manager: Jeff, did you drink all the coffee?
Jeff: No, I'm pretty sure Bob did.
Manager: Bob....I know you drank all the coffee because you're on the end of this blame train. You're fired.
Bob: WTF!?

Similar to Finger Pointing. A knee-jerk reaction to assign
blame to someone in a team setting for a series
of mistakes, unmet goals, etc. that cause a serious
failure. Once the Blame Gun has been pointed
and fired, the victim may be let go, written up, demoted,
shunned, etc. Ironically, often times the shooter is as
much to blame for a failure as the victim.

Joe : "I bet somebody's gonna get sacked for losing
that big account."
Moe: "The boss pointed the Blame Gun at me, but
I convinced him it was Fred's fault, so Fred
got shot instead."
Joe : "Well played."
