BLAMESTORMING
Once upon a time, not really that long ago, most folks possessed honesty, and strength of character. They took responsibility for their own actions and mistakes. Now, with entitlement piling up like Trump’s tweets against the non-existent Mexican wall, nobody admits to nuthin’. No matter who you ask or accuse – they were facing north, when things went south.
Definition of blamestorming
The process of assigning blame for an outcome or situation.
Origin of blamestorming
Blamestorming was originally a colloquialism in American English, modeled on the much earlier (1907) brainstorming. It entered English in the 1990s.
“I cannot tell a lie. I chopped down the cherry tree.” was a loooonngg time ago. ‘No guts – No glory’ is taking on a sadly different meaning. Far too few people have the guts to take responsibility for their own decisions and actions. President Harry Truman would be disappointed to find an America populated with consequence-avoiding wimps who have changed his famous slogan to ‘The Buck Passes Here.’ 😛
