Can we please declare a moratorium on "thrown under the bus"?

[crispini]

OMG how many times I have read that phrase today!???! :crazy: :banghead:

[mrreowwr_kittty]

1. I know! An ex-boyfriend of mine introduced me to the phrase about 5 years ago.

I thought it was so funny then. I used it all the time, much to the amusement of my friends. Now, when I hear the likes of Joe Scarborough use it, I cringe. It's like they always say about a popular phrase: As soon as your mom or dad uses it, it's over.

4. What-ev!

:evilgrin:

[chknltl]

2. Can I still say that Senator mCcain...

...will be lookin' fer a bus to jump under come November? (someone should make the animated smiley)

[crispini]

3. Why not a bridge?

Bridges are nice! :D :rofl:

[Johnny__Motown]

13. homeless veterans need to live under bridges.. or don't you listen to Sen. Edwards?

Lets not throw things under bridges.




How about ... throw them under the SUV?

[chknltl]

17. Depends on how 'smokeable' those thrown items are...

...and yes I have been known to leave such care packages, complete with rolling papers for the homeless. We have lots of bridges around here.

[chknltl]

16. Well he is a troll! Perhaps he can drag his bus under that bridge with him.

btw: I agree, bridges ARE nice. Here is a good one for Senator mCcain to hide under...plenty of fog, his mind will feel right at home too!

21. Or thrown in a

cow pasture.

[Horse with no Name]

5. How about "throw mama from the train"?

:rofl:
Man I loved that movie.:rofl:

[Bonobo]

6. Let's just use the word "sacrifice". Okay?

[EFerrari]

7. What about "show me a rose or leave me alone"?

:silly:

[crispini]

11. LOL! nt

[HooptieWagon]

8. I agree, any one who uses cliches like "thrown under the bus"...

... has jumped the shark. :spank:

[GarbagemanLB]

9. So now you are throwing "throwing under the bus" under the bus? Typical..

[crispini]

12. Noooooo......

You have just created an infinite loop and next this thread's going to disappear into a black hole! :wow:

[Drachasor]

14. Hey, that's my joke from another thread on this same topic!

It's pretty trivial to reinvent though.

[smalll]

10. Throwing under the bus has jumped the shark. /nt

[DesertFlower]

15. yes. puleeeez. nt

[CitizenLeft]

18. OMG... thank you!

And can we please add "_________ card" to that? PLEASE?

And, while we're at it, "on day one?"

Crimony!

19. Getting people to stop using thrown under the bus

Is like trying to make a silk purse out of a pig in the poke after you let the cat out of the bag on the horse you led to water. It just isn't worth two in the hand.

[theredpen]

20. Oh great, now people who use that phrase are being thrown under the bus

It's gettin' crowded down there!

[moxie_1]

22. Yes, please! That and "meme".

[mythyc]

23. i second

[ContinentalOp]

24. You've obviously been drinking the anti-bus-throwing kool aid.

[Hoof Hearted]

25. As soon as Barack is done with throwning people under the bus, sure.

Talk to him.

[Algorem]

26. That's it . Under the bus with Crispini.

[rucky]

27. After all that phrase has done for us?

How could you?!!!111pppft!11

[Snarkturian Clone]

28. only if we can also lose "Wow. Just wow."

which is the single most snooty and obnoxious comment there is. Also, can we get rid of this thing: :eyes: --the kanji for smugness.

OH yeah... can we also cut down on the amount of commas in everyone's posts? Just way too many unnecessary commas around here. Stop describing things with two adjectives and putting commas between them (ex: the white, gay man). It all works just as well without the comma.

[EFerrari]

29. Can we lose "methinks" and "true dat"? Either we're reliving

the fifteenth century or we're in a Blondie cartoon, we can't do both.
