The catch phrase “throw [someone] under the bus” has EXPLODED over the past few years due to Reality TV. It’s synonymous with “backstabbing” a trusted friend / teammate, when you yourself are under threat. Here’s a compilation of all the times the phrase was used in the latest season of The Celebrity Apprentice, but I guarantee you that you could make a similar compilation of clips from any other season of a competition-based Reality TV show from the past few years.
Even more interestingly, I’ve found a few sources that originally attribute the phrase to Cyndi Lauper, way back in 1984. Considering that Cyndi was on this season of the Celebrity Apprentice, the whole thing has come full circle!
