n. An Australian imaginary incapacitated person held up as an archetype of incapacity: what Blind Freddy can see (understand) must be very obvious.
Was once believed to have originated from a 1920s Sydney hawker named either Freddy or Freddie, however it appears that a reference to Blind Freddy in the context of seeing (understanding) the bleeding obvious was made in an issue of The Sydney Sportsman in October 1902.
Further research suggests that Blind Freddy may be a reference to Sir Frederick William Pottinger, a police officer who was in charge of the Lachlan district in New South Wales in the mid-1800s. The success of bushranger Ben Hall in evading capture there in 1862 is alleged to have earned Pottinger the name "Blind Freddy".

1-What they do to horses that pull carriages
2-One who is hardheaded and single minded, 3-People who are so simple they can't think past what they see right in front of them.
Why do they blinder horses, it seems so mean to only let them see in front of them.
When I told my friend the White Stripes need a bassist, he went on about how perfect they are without one. He's just so blindered.
I watched the matrix with my friend, but he's so blindered he said "I've seen way better action movies, why does everyone like this so much?"
when you're holding up your phone and making faces at it, as though you are taking a selfie, but you're really taking a picture of the person across from you or the wall or anything else that seems interesting but you don't want to be caught dead taking a picture of.
This action is often made more convincing by wiggling the eyebrows or opening the mouth, to pretend you're trying to get a Snapchat filter to work.
FRIEND A: "Did you just take a stealthie of me?"
FRIEND B (turning phone around): "no I was just using snapchat's new filter, see?"
The grindset is a contemporary ideology of self-exploitation disguised as strength, deeply tied to the aesthetics of the “sigma male” and to new digital forms of patriarchy. It promotes the idea that human worth depends on productivity, economic success, absolute emotional control, and the ability to work endlessly, turning vulnerability, rest, community, and tenderness into signs of weakness. Beneath its rhetoric of discipline and power often lies a profound inability to relate healthily to pain, fragility, and human interdependence.
“That’s the grindset, brother. While weak men sleep and complain, sigma males stay disciplined, work in silence, suppress emotions, and build power while everyone else wastes time chasing comfort.”
