A person, place, object, idea, or goal that represents a false form of salvation.
"Don't be a dimbo socket," cried Milton's wife. "You're really going to bankrupt us just to buy that stupid totaliterry cloth robe? Don't you see? It's just not going to make you happy. It's a scrambloon. Like when you wanted to meet Kelsey Grammer. I spent all my graduation money getting us to LA so we could be in the live studio audience to see an episode of Frasier being filmed and then sneak into his dressing room. It was going to transform your life forever, and it did. For about a week. Then you wanted to move to New Zealand and we did. We spent our last dime getting there just so we could work for free on a llama farm. And don't think I forgot when you sold our car to buy that holy loaf of Wonder Bread from eBay, where each slice, after being toasted, supposedly would depict a Station of the Cross. Or when you wouldn't shave for almost three years because you wanted to set the Guinness world record for longest mutton chops."
