No, I'm a big boy. I don't need a scapegoat.

I'm not familiar with that term....and neither is Webster. ;-)

Thank you sir for increasing my vocabulary. When I was a young kid, my parents never "talked down" to my siblings and me. They purposefully used large words to increase our vocabulary. It's a practice that my wife and I have passed on to our kids. It sure does come in handy when they take college entrance exams, if nothing else. ;-)
