Bulldoze
bulldoze
- 1876, originally bulldose "a severe beating or lashing," lit. "a dose fit for a bull," slang from either Botany Bay or U.S. slave plantations, though it seems to have emerged in the beating of black voters (by either blacks or whites) in the 1876 U.S. presidential election. A bulldozer was a person who intimidates by violence until the meaning was extended to ground-clearing machinery in 1930s.
