Escape goat is probably a Trailer Park Boys reference, some of us just like to deliberately mispronounce things in an ironic manner too.

Scapegoat

Escape the goat

Rest assured we are trying to escape the goat and minimising the damage to our reputation.

Literally the etymology though. 'scape instead of escape is the original "mispronunciation" otherwise it's just a straight-forward translation of Azazel, the goat which escaped in Levictus 16.
