Shoving windmill blades into a coal mine

Like sweeping something under a rug. This is the post modern, gen z style way to imply a new connotation of the underlying political weight that we can hide something in place that is obviously going to out itself eventually, but since politics are so short sighted, it's fine... This is fine... We will just shove these here for now and pretend that the waste is not as bad for the planet as other thing like... Cow farts.
Definition: "Shoving windmill blades into a coal mine" is like trying to hide something that is embarrassing, illegal, or wrong, or trying to keep a problem secret. Like, sweeping something under a rug. The additional connotation is that there is an added layer of betrayal to the common man because something described this way means the thing is being hidden by the very body that promises to have our best interest in mind.

For example, when her mother found out she had cancer, and realized that it was likely due to the mother's habitual smoking for years, she chose to shove the windmill blades into a coal mine and just convince the girl that it was just a cold that wouldn't quit and vitamins would be fine.

Atlas Stoning

A sex position where a larger partner picks up a shorter partner while the shorter partner is facing away and does them from behind while the shorter partner's feet are dangling in the air. The action looks very similar to when one is loading an atlas stone in a strongman event, hence the name. Bonus points if you use tacky to secure the smaller partner.

Derivative: Atlas Stoned
Future tense: Atlas Stone
"If thing go well, we're going to be doing more atlas stoning after the contest."
"Bro, I atlas stoned Selena last night and she's pissed off that her hips are still sticky from the spider tack."

"I'd atlas stone her into next month if she'd let me."
