macguffin
A fake shiny thing that makes people fight like crazy, even though it’s probably worth less than a used toaster. You never see it, and you don’t care, because you’re too busy being a dumbass.
My cousin killed 3 people over a MacGuffin. It was a watch. A watch. And it was broken.
That MacGuffin was just a box. A box. And it had a picture of a cat on it.
He spent 10 years chasing a MacGuffin. It turned out to be a bag of chips. And he didn’t even like chips.
