Default This metaphor must die!!!!!



Immediately and henceforth and forward NOBODY is to ever again type, write,
utter or scrawl in their own blood the phrase "thrown under the bus" unless and
in fact some person or thing was, literally (and I mean ****ing verily and in
truth literally) tossed beneath a self-powered, non-railed public conveyance.

FLandis just used it in the VN interview making it the 27,394th* time I've seen
it lately.

Thank you all for your kind attention to this matter.

Bitching about overused phrases is a red herring.

Driving a bus is a plot by Liberals to destroy our American way of life.
