17. Yes!
Jumped the Shark

That is definitely one for the verbal dumpster. Not that it's a bad phrase, it's just used to DEATH on DU.

5. I know right?
Apparently there's a lot of room under this bus. You figure it'd have a reputation by now. Don't get near this bus anyone. Especially if a rival happens to be in a position to force you underneath it.

16. Sure as hell gets my vote!
And can we toss the word "meme" too?? Good Lord, I'm tired of seeing that fake SAT word around here...

What about "Rovian?" Grates on the skin a bit, doesn't it??
