My son rides the short bus... and loves it... I would hate for him to be thrown under it. :D

Fixed it.

When expressions get used by the old farts like pwd72s and me, they are beyond cliché.

what about when someone says "coming down the pike" wouldn't it be PIPE???

what comes down a pike? unless someone is doing something fishy.
I've heard of a head on a pike, maybe that's what is sliding down.

And i'm sick of hearing "in this economy"

Turnpike. Down the Pike, you Piker.

Among building trades unions, "thrown under the bus" will never be abandoned as cliche. It is their main method of accomplishing something. Seriously. No group of organizations is more vicious than building trades unions.

It goes either way anymore. Not everyone lives near a "turnpike" and therefore does not know of the original reference. Some even say "pipeline."

turnpike???
we call them freeways/highways/expressways out here on the left coast

"Thrown under the bus" has "jumped the shark" (overused to the n'th degree)
