Get the scaaed mug.A stat that is potentially mis-leading, used with the intention of playing off of fear-based emotional reactions (pathos), used to support an idea. This idea, requiring deceptive support, is likely flawed. A scare stat has hidden truth (or is a twisted version of truth) which the author of the scare stat hopes you will overlook, as most people do.

Get the scareous mug.An individual, group or country singled out for unmerited negative treatment or blame; then accepting the blame, and overly going along with the plan against them to the point of looking like a dick.
Xest: If you look at what happened with the DRM fiasco, we had Don insulting his customers...
UnknowingFool: Or maybe Mattrick was a scapegoat and was doing what he was told to do.
Xest: It's hard to imagine Mattrick was a scapegoat given that he implicated himself by defending so rabidly the DRM policies in interviews to the extent of insulting customers. I very much doubt his orders were "Don, go make a dick of yourself in public". I'm pretty sure he managed that all by himself.
NFN_NLN: I think we can all agree we've coined the new term: "scapedick" :)
Crowd: Mattrick was such a scapedick on the XBoxOne DRM issue.
