"Blunkett" (or "blunketts") is an alternative slang word for the poker term "blind" (or "blinds"). This relatively new term is being used more and more, primarily in informal poker tournaments held in pub and casino poker rooms throughout the UK, and is one of the fastest spreading terms doing the rounds at the moment. The phrase is rumoured to have originated in one of the local poker halls in Swindon but has spread as far afield as Bristol Casino and Reading.
