Definition
A person who becomes the convenient emotional punching bag for your general frustrations—not necessarily because they're particularly deserving, but because they're available and serve a psychological purpose. It's like having a designated villain in your personal story, even if they're mostly innocent.
Example Usage
Jake's not actually a bad guy; he's just my hate sink when I'm in a mood.
