Under the bus

How about 'under the Segway?'? It's the greener way of placing the blame...

How about any sentence with the word "amazing" in it? They could not do any reality show without using that word. Want to make a bet on how long it takes for that word to used on The Batchelorette tomorrow night?

I say by 8:10...............

It was already put on the overrused list for 2007, along with "It is what it is" and several others. I really have to be careful around friends and family when they say "thrown under the bus" and not be a boor or just a b-hole and jump them.

The hot word I'm hearing lately is "vet," and it has nothing to do with an animal physician. Our college president uses it frequently, as well as the talking heads on the news.

Could you add that phrase, "My God is an awesome God?" What the heck is an omnipotent diety supposed to be, if not that? "My God is a mediocre God, but He'll do in a pinch." "My God is a real flake, but kittens came out all right..." "Buddha could whip my God's @ss with one hand tied behind his back, but my church has comfy pews." Sheesh.

Reminds me of the prayers at the "New Age" churches -- "Lord, we just want to thank you, and we just want to praise you, and we just ... "

Why is the word "just" in every phrase in every prayer? We Methodists don't do that.

NOPE! We Methodists just pray regular! :funn:

And BR what does Vet mean???
..
What happened to the word dreamed ,why so people say dreamt now?? I never dreamt it would happen.

"To appraise, verify, or check for accuracy, authenticity, validity, etc."

If I don't get to read it again, all will be well in the verse. The most overused phrase of '08 and we're only halfway through.

We'll just throw you under the VW ____!..

There is a church close to us named "Overcoming Faith"... We waited for them to correct their mistake ...... but it is not a mistake!

I know!!! What is up with young women using that word all the time? And what is up with the way most of them pronounce it--ameezing? Pay attention tomorrow night, you'll see.
P.S. seagrover, I'm hoping you're as into Bachelorette as you were Housewives, because I need somebody to give me a recap so far. I haven't watched it yet, and I loved Leann when she was on Bachelor. Catch me up!

OMG this thread is what it is and amazing at the same time. It's grayt seeing everyone vetting their facts and not throwing each other under the bus!!

Smart**s!

How about the overused "going forward"? Do those using this think that we are all "stopped" or "going backward"? (I must admit it may seem like that sometimes - but please don't spoil my reverie!);-)

How about "per"? This was a bad habit I developed from SallieMae. That term still bugs me to death.

I'm sort of sick of hearing, "We need to step it up." :roll:

Peapod - just the "same old, same old" - I know, that is another very old, overused phrase. But, Dehannah had a stalker last week and sent him home. She is sure the "man of her dreams" is in the bunch - "my husband"!!!

I can't wait for tonight to hear - "as we see the most dramatic rose ceremony yet". "Gentlemen, take time to say your goodbyes."

Yes, if not for reality TV, I would have no life!!! It is "amazing"!!!

another one

........"it is what it is".

Git R' Done

me too! such a sad life

I'm just trying to remember to use this newby "vet" soon!

Does anybody remember "NOT!!". It was spawned from Wayne's World. You made a completely random or reversed comment and then yelled NOT. It was truly a horrible fad.

my favorite is 'because I said so'
