GET ME REWRITE. Let's call a spade a spade: Freedom Caucus Crazies

The Hill, 7/13/2023

Members of the hard-line conservative House Freedom Caucus and their allies had been pushing for votes on the hot-button culture war issues, even as passage of some of those amendments could amount to poison pills for Democrats, and their inclusion may severely complicate House Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s (R-Calif.) task of securing final passage of the annual $886 billion defense bill.

According to Merriam-Webster, the first known use of 'poison pill', as in a financial tactic or provision used by a company to make an unwanted takeover prohibitively expensive or less desirable, occured in 1983.  

Other coinages from the same year include:

1.  bullet point
2.  dumpster diving
3.  kettle chip
4.  lap dancing
5.  piehole
6.  yup
7.  zip tie
