Vocab Lesson
Although the imagery is downright hilarious, the phrase is scape goat. I can sit here and think all day and I might not come up with the right crime when it would be necessary to procure yourself an “escape goat,” but that really isn’t the point.

I am officially starting a band named Escape Goat.
You might need an escape goat if you were stealing something small from someone on a mountaintop.
Didn’t Odd Job get away in an escape goat in the movie Dr. No?
This is interesting to me. The origin is not clear to me yet. What is clear is that there was some religions ceremony in the Torah where someone put all his sins on the head of a goat (confessed to a goat and thus made the goat responsible) and then set the goat free into the wild.
Some people on the International Database of Naked Bottoms (The Internet) have claimed that they call this an Escaped Goat. That seems silly, cause the Jewish probably spoke Hebrew and not English. Well, they could have had an equivalent. It would be strange, however, for the word ‘escaped’ to have been truncated that way in translation. Why would ‘escaped’ ever become ’scape’? I am not sure. Certianly the words have the same origin - ’scape’ and ‘escaped’. I can understand how people make the mistake since there is no other similar words.
Anyway, I will keep looking. Please share any info you might have. Thanks!
More info on the Scapegoat from a cool site: http://www.word-dectective.com. I am impressed with this site. I love this shit. Geek!
Oh here, I’ll just let you give a look: http://www.word-detective.com/051600.html. It still doesn’t satisfy the truncation of “escaped” to “scape”, but those British wankers are right apt to rifle range their dickey birds.
