powdered Whig

What a fancy-hairpiece-wearing "non-loyalist" Revolutiona-era dude like Sam Adams or John Hancock would have become if he had accidentally stepped on a clump of puffball mushrooms during a warm dry day.

Back in da day, you could indeed save money on scented starch-dust by joining da powdered Whig Party, but da prob wif "going organic" like dis was dat eventually you'd likely get little mushrooms growing in yer dress-up head-gear.
