Bulldozing Meaning in English
word · lemma: bulldoze
Definition
The act of knocking down or clearing things with a bulldozer; also, forcefully pushing through obstacles or imposing something on others.
Usage & Nuances
Often used literally for construction/demolition, but also metaphorically for aggressive or forceful behavior (e.g., 'bulldozing an idea through a meeting'). More informal than formal. Common mistakes: confusing with simple 'destroying'—'bulldozing' implies force and machinery or pushiness.
