A statement that is allegedly so self-evidently true that it cannot be argued against, thus extinguishing any debate on the subject under discussion. It is often employed by those that don't understand the issues and don't wish to reveal that ignorance.
"I don't like all this new building in rural areas." "Well, you can't stop progress!" "That's a typical fire blanket statement, just what do you mean by progress?"
"I am against making ID Cards compulsory" "I don't see the problem, if you've nothing to hide, whats the harm?" "Stop using a fire blanket statement, its not about hiding anything, just personal privacy!"
When Charizarding goes horribly wrong, one must use their last resort... A Testicular Fire blanket. This involves smothering the flames with ones testicles
When someone shows so much as a flicker of excitement about something, the human fire blanket will smother it with a negative comment about how it probably won't work/ he's never liked such and such, etc.
Whilst in the act of coitus, one farts an especially warm and wet fart under the sheets. One then traps your lover under the covers. Said lover may thrash around and yell, but lo, he or she is stuck... in the FIREBLANKET.
