Meanings
-
Synonym of ride roughshod over.
This trampler upon human rights is — Fashion. Strange that mankind should love a despotism, And while they kick against one kind of rule, Should uncomplainingly endure another,[…] They yet should pay a tyrant to ride over them, Saddling themselves with never ending taxes!
1871, James Hurnard, The setting sun, a poem, page 86:
