I like it...it's good.

I never knew what "Thrown under the bus" was until Rock of Love. Everyone was thrown under the bus on that show. I figured it out, doesn't take a genius. I like the saying but it's nice to have a variation. I've heard "Kick to the curb". My former roommate said that A LOT!! It's an oldie but a goodie.

It doesn't mean quite the same thing as "Kick to the curb", at least in my definition of both phrases.

"Throw under the bus" means to sacrafice someone else for your own gain.
"Kick to the curb" means to get rid of in a very negative way.

Yes, you're right. I had to think about it for a second. I guess when I read the mention of "Kick to the curb" I got sidetracked.

I know.

When people do this, it literally makes my head explode.
