Is this an English, an American, a French or possibly a universal expression?

I've heard of "shouldering" (one's way through a crowd, for example,) but not shouldering someone away. Closest in my experience is to give someone the cold shoulder, which connotes dismissal, that is, sending (or keeping) someone away.

I've heard of 'shouldering (someone) out of the way.' US

355 hits in google[books] for shouldered away.

The first citation for shoulder away in the OED2 is from the 14th century in the Cursor Mundi (written in Middle English). Ne wiste þai neuer quat to say ilkan shuldered oþer a-way.

1.41 million hits on Google for "little green men from Mars" - and so?

Is that a lot or a little? If it were google hits without the books it would be inconsequential. What is it with google books? And what's the corpus? All American English? British English? Indian? Canadian? Australian? The whole world of English?

BTW, Google Books gives me 605 hits for "shouldered away" and 274,215 for "shouldered out of the way".
