Linus Blanket

Another word for a pacifier, comforter or security blanket, but it can be used as a metaphor.

His dependence has lead to this being a pop-culture reference to all such objects in relation to those who need them.

The term became a lot more popular after the term was used by Simon Pegg in an early episode of the hit TV sitcom Spaced.
