Let us never speak of this again.

I would like to nominate a phrase for "Things I Never Want To Hear Again."  This phrase has become the go-to comment for any competition, controversy, or similar event.  No matter what happens, it seems that someone always has to utter that magic phrase, "Throw _________ under the bus."  At first I ignored it, I tried to be civil to it, and all was well when I only heard it occasionally, but lately it seems like everyone is hopping on board that darn bus and getting ready to throw someone under it.  So please, if you see me, try to hold back and refrain from saying it.  I don't think that it's too much to ask.  

(And why can't it be a train?)
