Flip Flop Thinking
To change a thought or view when it suits the person. Used by people who don't want to admit to being wrong but not realising that it shows weakness on their part.
An example of flip flop thinking:
"I voted for the reds in the recent election because they're the best party."
*Blues win election*
"I knew the blues would win - that's why I voted for them!"
"I voted for the reds in the recent election because they're the best party."
*Blues win election*
"I knew the blues would win - that's why I voted for them!"
