Nancy! You made my day! I suspect every juror was tempted to snicker outloud when Todd Blanche used that acronym against Michael Cohen, when it's obvious his former [mob] boss is the biggest GLOAT in the history of American politics.
Also see "gloaming," which I have heard only from Scotland, which refers to the last light of day. Maybe it's related to "alpenglow," which is much the same thing only prettier.

I love this so much.
> “goat” had been “used in American sports since the early 1900s as a derisive term for a player responsible for a team’s loss.”
Charlie Brown of "Peanuts" fame often aspired to be the hero but was always the goat. (1958 strip, but of course Schulz was born in 1922.)

Oh, and "goat" is the term for the cadet who graduates last in their class at West Point.
