baldwinize

1. To avoid taking personal responsibility by claiming that your errors were inevitable.

2. To flip the script on others, recasting yourself in the heroic role against the system which caused you to commit harm.

Baldwinizing does not require a legitimate change of opinion (like Morton Downey Jr. on smoking) or even a pretense of changing one's opinion (see Elridge Cleaver).
"We need to create a more robust welfare program to protect the children of single mothers like me from falling into the hood life" baldwinized Mr. Williamson upon his parole hearing, having earned his PhD. in Education and African Studies while serving a 25 year sentence for triple homicide. (He begins his tenure as a professor of Ethics at the Nebraska Coastal University on Tuesday.)

"We have to ban prop guns and switch to rubber guns" baldwinized the sweaty producer, "and I call on you pathetic sinners to fully support legislation to do so."

Baldwinito

The offspring of delusional parents who pretend they and their children are of a certain nationality; especially in the context of those who pretend to be Hispanic / Spanish.
It’s Cinco De Mayo, parents: “Baldwinitos come have some, how do you say in English, cucumber sandwiches.”

Kids looking at the maracas and stick on moustache in disgust: “The Hilaria Baldwin joke is so 2020. Is she still pretending to be Spanish?”

Baldwinded

When a person makes a false statement or direct order followed by the words “The Commanding Officer” and it is believed by the person being told.
Examples of being baldwinded- This work needed to be done yesterday, the commanding officer told me. They aren’t very happy about this, the commanding officer said to me.

Baldwining

The act of shooting a blank into a girl but realizing your sack is still loaded and end up with an 18 year sentence of father hood.
I got a vasectomy so I thought I was shooting blanks but I ended up Baldwining her. Guess I'm still firing live rounds.
