Throw under the bus : ウィキペディア英語版 | Throw under the bus
The phrase has been widely popularized by sports journalists since 2004 and was picked up by the mainstream media during the 2008 political primary season. It has frequently been used to describe various politicians distancing themselves from suddenly unpopular or controversial figures whom the candidate has previously allied themselves with. David Segal, a writer for ''The Washington Post'', calls the expression "''the'' cliché of the 2008 campaign". In a March 2008 NPR report, the linguist Geoff Nunberg noted that "under the bus" "has appeared in more than 400 press stories on the campaign over the last six months". ==Origins== A relative early use is attributed by the Double-Tongued Dictionary to a 1991 article in the Colorado Springs ''Gazette Telegraph''. Cyndi Lauper() is sometimes wrongly quoted as saying in ''The Washington Post'' in 1984: "In the rock ’n’ roll business, you are either on the bus or under it. Playing 'Feelings' with Eddie and the Condos in a buffet bar in Butte is under the bus." However, those lines were written by journalist David Remnick and they are not attributed in the article to Lauper or anyone else.
