The Catholic Cricket

I’d like to see the phrase “thrown under the bus” get thrown under the bus.

The bus should then be backed up and run forward a few times, and then the driver can get out and kick the phrase a few times just to make sure it’s dead before pouring gasoline on it and tossing on a lit match, basking in the warmth provided on a cold autumn day.

Please?  I’m really tired of hearing it.  Find some new phrases, everyone.  Expand your vocabulary.
