goat
Billy or nanny
A goat is a hoofed mammal related to sheep, domesticated for milk, meat, and fiber.
Goats are known for eating almost anything and for their ability to climb steep terrain.
A goat can also be someone blamed for a failure—the scapegoat who cost the team the game.
In recent slang, calling someone the goat means they're highly skilled or admirable, from the acronym for "greatest of all time." They made him the goat for the project's failure. (All-caps GOAT is the acronym.)
