butt-iron
Anything desired so strongly that possessing/achieving THAT SPECIFIC THING becomes an obsession in the mind of the desirer, an obsession that compels them to go to absurd, even destructive, even self-destructive lengths to acquire the thing, sometimes ignoring easier options in the process. The ends do NOT justify the means here, but they "gotta have that butt-iron". Taken from the science video where it is explained how much magnetic force Magneto would have to exert to extract the iron from the guard in X-Men II; long before he could have extracted it, he would have exerted enough magnetic force to escape several times over, but he's "gotta have that butt-iron"
Me: Dude! Why do you need THAT car? We passed three dealerships on the way! I think we ran over a guy back there!
You: I gotta have that butt-iron! I gotta!
You: I gotta have that butt-iron! I gotta!
