English 101- An assignment

Word fads. Gosh, I hate them.Are there any original thinkers left in the world? In a society where people put so much stock on being an individual, it is certainly ironic that so many merely parrot words or phrases that they hear and then think that they are "so cool" for saying them.Ones that particularly offend me are.

1.Throw under the bus-

2.Bring to the table-

3.Drink the kool aid-

The assignment is to use these "cutesy" phrases in a sentence.

The winning entry will receive a soooooooo cool prize that you will want to bring it to the table, drink the kool aid from it,but if it does not taste good, well, just throw it under the bus.
