Blimp mode is the state of being fully locked into pompous, reactionary, out-of-touch blowhard behavior — puffed up with opinions nobody asked for, convinced that everything was better before, and constitutionally unable to entertain a new idea. Borrowed from Colonel Blimp, the British satirical archetype of the blinkered establishment reactionary, blimp mode names the gear someone shifts into when they start pontificating about declining standards, the youth of today, or whatever cultural change they've decided is civilization's death knell. Often entered without warning at dinner tables and office meetings.
