(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.

Get the scapegoat mug.Someone who purchases large quantities of goods (usually tickets) early with the sole intention of re-selling them at a higher price at a later date (closer to the event).
Seedy looking guys outside stadiums avoiding police and trying to sell tickets to baseball/football games which are about to start.

Get the Scalper mug.Well, I’ve now heard it all. Apparently Keith went to the midget tossing competition, and this little guy named Otto won. I guess Otto was so excited, he ripped his clothes off and what was hiding underneath? A 12 inch Sidewalk Scraper. Keith said he was a little devastated with the load, not very big at all. He said the Dong to ball ratio wasn’t right, but the girth of the old clamslammer made up for it!
