Scapegoat Speeder 

The term used to describe the occurance in which traffic is moving 15mph more than it should, yet one car is going 20-30 mph faster, and therefore the one pulled over by the cops. In otherwords, when everyone is speeding, but the one speeding the most would be the 'scapegoat' speeder.

Person 1: "Dude I was going 70 in a 55 the other day but there was another guy that got busted doing 80."
Person2: "Good thing you had that scapegoat speeder!"

Scapegoat sibling

This is the sibling who has been through a lot. Maybe they were bullied? Or the family gaslights them? But at the end of the day this is the sibling who asks out. Who rebels the most. Often they are used as the family’s ‘punching bag’. Often the family will shift its focus from the real issues to this child. The family priorities pointing out this child’s mistakes to the real issue. They are the child that the family reflects their insecurities onto. They get blamed for their family’s mistakes.

Shame she’s the scapegoat of the family

That poor kid has to put up with her family’s crap! What a scapegoat sibling.

scapegoat 

(n.) A scapegoat is an event person or object that is used to lay the blame on for all that goes wrong, regardless of the contributions of others. This will usually carry on until the scapegoat has gone, or has managed to successfully defend itself against the arguements presented to it.

The word comes from Judaism. During mass reconciliation the rabbi would bring a goat to the alter. The sins of the people would be absorbed into the goat, and it would then be killed, its' blood staining the alter until cleansed. This is what Jesus Christ reflected in his crucifixion, being a scapegoat.


(v.) to make the scapegoat

I will not be made a scapegoat.


To be a scapegoat is to take heat.


Scapegoat was often burned, but sometimes the poor stole it and ate it.

Scapegoat 

Someone with that absorbs the negative image others don't want for themselves, as most people want to make themselves look good at any cost to others.

None of them wanted to become scapegoat, so they made him one to defer suspicion from themselves.
