Definition of sit upon in English English dictionary

A "cushion" often made by Girl Scouts to use when the ground is damp or to keep their clothes clean

(To) To snub, squash, smother, set down; the Latin insideo Charlotte Brontë, in Shirley (xxviii ), uses a phrase which seems analagous: Miss Keeldar says she mentioned the mischance to no one- “I preferred to cushion the matter ” “Mr Schwann and his congeners should be most energetically sat upon by colleagues and opponents alike, by everyone, in fact, who has the welfare of the empire at heart ”- The World, April 6th, 1892, p 19
