Hot potato (game)

Hot potato is a party game that involves players gathering in a circle and tossing a small object such as a beanbag or even a real (unheated) potato to each other while music plays.[1] The player who is holding the object when the music stops is eliminated.[2]

 

Bagholder

In U.S. financial slang, a bagholder is a shareholder left holding shares of worthless stocks.[1]

 

The shareholders could be caught up in a corporate bankruptcy and accounting scandal, as was the case with Enron and Worldcom, or the victims of a pump and dump scheme, in which naive and unsophisticated investors fall victim to e-mail spam, rigged stock tip forums, or other tricks used by stock touts to drive up the shares of worthless penny stocks.

 

The word is derived by combining shareholder with the expression "left holding the bag."

 

Fall guy

Fall guy is a colloquial phrase that refers to a person to whom blame is deliberately and falsely attributed in order to deflect blame from another party.
