释义

Burning blankets to stay warm

Doing something that seems like a quick and easy solution to a problem, without thinking about the fact that it will only make the problem worse in the long term (ie. burning blankets might keep you warm for a short time, but once they're burned - they're gone and can't keep you warm anymore!).
Mate 1: Ah man, I keep getting told speeding fines are being sent to my old address. Luckily they don't know where I live now, so it's all good if I don't pay!

Mate 2: What? Mate, get those paid! Last thing you want is to get pulled over or lose your license over unpaid fines... you're just burning blankets to stay warm!
