goat
ɡōt/

noun

1. a hardy domesticated ruminant animal that has backward curving horns and (in the male) a beard. It is kept for its milk and meat and is noted for its lively and frisky behavior.

2. a person likened to a goat, in particular. a lecherous man.

(US) a scapegoat
Goat, in sports, is short for scapegoat. Example: "In almost every game last season, Hiller was the goat."

Pick another acronym for someone who's the best ever at something. Goat is already taken. Also, get the #### off my lawn!!

I totally agree. If you're gonna refer to someone as greatest of all time, pay that person/athlete proper respect and say it fully don't say GOAT....ugh, hearing Jim Rome say it over and over, just epic acronym fail IMO.
