A Faucian bargain

A Faucian bargain: Every year, dictionary companies publicly release a list of new words added to their pages.  Somehow, they have omitted the inclusion of "Faucian," as in "Faucian bargain."  This is not to be confused with a "Faustian bargain," which is basically a "deal with the devil" that would provide short-term benefits but long-term tragedy or destruction for the dealmaker.  On the other hand, a "Faucian bargain" involves any decision or ploy made to benefit the little conman, Anthony Fauci.
