Scaramouche

1.- A cowardly braggart in traditional Italian comedy that serves as the unscrupulous and unreliable servant. The common theme of this stock character type is his affinity for intrigue, which lands him in precarious situations. He will usually manage to extricate himself, primarily by chance, leaving an innocent victim to bear the brunt of the consequences of his follies.

2.- A historical book by Rafael Sabatini later adapted to stage

This is whom Freddie Mercury was referencing in the Queen song "Bohemian Rhapsody".

Derived from, and often mistaken for, "Scaramuccia", which is Italian for "skirmish".
If the current financial crisis were a Commedia dell'Arte, the American Investment Bankers and CEOs would play the part of Scaramouches, and the working class the victims of their follies.

scarface

Brilliant film that is one of Al Pacino's finest moments. Scarface tells the story of ruthless, foul-mouthed Cuban exile Tony Montana (Pacino). Arriving in Miami alongside thousands of Cuban immigrants during the 1980 Mariel Harbour boatlift, Montana rapidly begins to climb the ranks of the local cocaine cartel. After a long cycle of blood, profanity, spitting, and extreme violence, Tony makes it all the way to the top, but his drug-addled paranoia (a result of 'getting high on his own supply') proves to be his downfall.
See it if you already haven't. An absolute classic.

scarabortion

Scarabortion is a nickname for scaramouche given to him by some of his fans (scaranation) upon him being released as a playable character and players got to name him whatever they wanted.
Person 1: the genshin fandom is weird, especially scaranation
Person 2: i agree, hoyoverse allowed players to name scaramouche and they came up with all sorts of weird names for him
Person 3: you can really tell if people simp for him with the name they chose for him. Most simps called him babygirl, whereas people who find scaramouche to be a funny little man named him things like scarabortion.
