Cosmic Piñata

An entity/person/thing that is responsible for actively or passively absorbing bad events (or, taking the 'hit') so that good things can happen to others, or so that others can avoid bad things.

When it happens passively, the Universe is picking on you.
When it happens actively, the unfortunate person is fixing their karma.

Example 1:
Guy 1: Hey, I heard Steve got struck by lightening thirteen times yesterday!
Guy 2: Yeah totally. I was standing right next to him. If he didn't take it all I would have gotten struck too!
Guy 1: Oh God, yeah, Steve must be a cosmic piñata. Last time I was almost hit by a car but Steve appeared out of nowhere-the car swerved and hit Steve instead!... We're lucky he was with us when shit happened!

Example 2:
Guy 1 does 20 gacha pulls in a mobile game and get rubbish. Guy 1 is a conmic Piñata because he unwittingly raised the chance for another player to get something good.
Guy 2 does 1 gacha pull and get 10 x 5* characters. Guy 2 got lucky because Guy 1 absorbed all the trash.

Example 3:
Girl 1: Hey look! a Louis Vuitton for only 50 bucks on this website!!
Girl 2: *pulls out credit card and buys 10* - OMG! I NEED!

Girl 2: *Finds out it was fake and the thieves stole her credit card details and maxed it out. She didn't have theft insurance.* - Shit!

Girl 1: Oh God! Lucky you found out or it would have been me who would have been conned!

bear piñata

Also called a bear bag. A sack, usually made from nylon, containing food and hung from a rope over a high tree branch to keep the food from being eaten by a bear overnight while on a backpacking trip. The job of hanging the food is often done badly, especially when hikers are tired, giving bears plenty of chances to get good at taking them down.

After 15 miles on the trail, Dave was too tired to hang the food right and turned our meals for the next three days into a bear piñata.

Venezuelan Piñata

The sexual act of a naked man doing a handstand while resting his legs against a wall (or pressing himself between two walls so he’s not touching the floor) while a partner (or multiple) beats his genitals with a stick until he has an orgasm (candy) or falls.

Mike had to call in sick because he was still sore from being the Venezuelan piñata at his girlfriends party.
