TurdFerguson87: Blinders. The word is blinders. ...
GilesHabibula: You may want to look up the definition of 'blinkers.' It is in fact another word for 'blinders.' :-)
I had to look it up myself many years ago while I was watching "The Seven Year Itch" and blinkers was used instead of blinders, and I thought it was an error, but nope.
A blinker makes no sense for the meaning of the phrase you're trying to convey.
Anyway, it took you this long to come up with a response and yet everyone else moved on. You really should have held your peace.
GilesHabibula: You really hate being corrected, don't you? I even tried to be nice about it. ;-)
At best, you're projecting.
If you actually took a deep dive on the subject, you would realize that the word is not saying what you think it means. Coupled with your fallacious leaning on media, on top of the fact this is somehow even said at all in specific regions, it makes one look ridiculous and uneducated for saying it. It's certainly not the Queen's English. "Blinders" is the word used for the idiom in the first place for a reason. You were the one who was corrected.
