Here blinking is not about eyes. It is a mild, slightly comic way to show you are annoyed — a soft swear you can say in front of children, or in a sitcom. “This blinking printer” means you are fed up with the printer.

Here在這裡 blinking「blinking」這個字 is not about eyes跟眼睛無關。It它 is是 a mild, slightly comic way一種溫和、有點搞笑的方式 to show you are annoyed用來表示你很煩 a soft swear you can say in front of children, or in a sitcom是一種在小孩面前或情境喜劇裡也可以說的委婉髒話 "This blinking printer"「This blinking printer」（這台該死的印表機） means指的是 you are fed up with the printer你受夠了這台印表機。

It is British, a bit old-fashioned, and it usually sits in front of a noun like a grumpy little adjective. Americans do not really use it this way.

It它 is是 British英式用法 a bit old-fashioned有點過時 and it usually sits in front of a noun而且通常放在名詞前面 like a grumpy little adjective就像個愛抱怨的小形容詞。Americans美國人 do not really use it this way不太這樣用它。

You may also hear it as extra weight in a sentence: “I can't get the blinking thing to work.” Though actually, it has the same shape as the everyday verb blink (what your eyes do), but this annoyed use is a different job. I would not hang a big origin story on that.

You也 may also hear it你也可能聽到它 as extra weight in a sentence在句子裡當作加強語氣 "I can't get the blinking thing to work."「I can't get the blinking thing to work.」（我沒辦法讓這個該死的東西動起來） Though actually不過 it has the same shape as the everyday verb blink它的形式跟日常動詞blink（眨眼）一樣 what your eyes do（眼睛做的那個動作） but this annoyed use is a different job但這個表示不耐煩的用法是不同的功能。On that在這件事情上 I would not hang我不會硬要掛上 a big origin story一個很大的來源故事。

Treat it as a polite stand-in for stronger words, in the same mood as blasted or blooming.

Treat it把它當作 as a polite stand-in for stronger words比較委婉的替代詞用來代替更強烈的字眼 in the same mood as blasted or blooming語氣跟blasted或blooming差不多。
