prettygoodwordinfravehiculate (in-frah-vee-HIK-yoo-layt) - v., to place under a vehicle; (coll.) to scapegoat someone esp. an underling to save oneself from repercussions.
See also "throw someone under the bus." A recent coinage met here, though possibly found as a nonce-word earlier. Coined from Latin roots infra-, under + vehicle + -ate, verbal suffix.
