"monolift" for "monolith"

A monolith is usually the one thing in the vicinity that’s lifted up above everything else. Hard to search for because of the exercise device bearing the same name – I saw about 10 instances of the target reshaping, but I’d bet there are more. Examples:

In Bernal there is the third largest monolift in the world or something like that. Its pretty big.

We blitzed our way through all of our favorite Oregon activities including the Tillamook Cheese Factory, a drive up the beautiful Oregon Coast, and a visit to what the AAA travel guide calls the third tallest monolift in the world (Haystack Rock).

Cleveled, you act as if black folks are some monoliftic block that will do as they’‘re told?
