I've also seen Blind Tiger used differently, as in: He was in a blind tiger when he killed his wife, or he came home in a Blind Tiger... I think these refer to the fact he was drunk on illegal alcohol.

Blind Tiger: obsolete U.S. slang. a speak-easy, an illegal liquor saloon. In the prohibition era illegal bars were called "blind tigers" because the premise would have no marking save a stuffed toy tiger in the window. Bars bearing the name are frequently found in College Towns, e.g.. Topeka, Ks., Charleston, SC., Greensboro, NC.,Organ City, Or., New York City...and on and on... ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, October 10, 2001 10:01 AM Subject: Re: Blind Tiger ?????? > I've also seen Blind Tiger used differently, as in: He was in a blind tiger > when he killed his wife, or he came home in a Blind Tiger...
