Learn the English Phrase TO THROW SOMEONE UNDER THE BUS and THE WHEELS CAME OFF THE BUS

Read along to practice your English and to learn the English phrases TO THROW SOMEONE UNDER THE BUS and THE WHEELS FELL OFF THE BUS
In this English lesson, I wanted to help you learn the English phrase, to throw someone under the bus. Now, this sounds horrible, but it's not something you actually do. You would not actually throw a person under a bus, but if you and someone else do something, and the other person blames you for it, they would be throwing you under the bus. Sometimes this happens in workplaces. Sometimes people work on something, and something goes wrong. And the boss says, who did this? Whose fault was it? And maybe it's two people that did it, and the one person says he did it. They throw that person under the bus. They pretend that they didn't do anything wrong, and they basically say that the other person did it. It's not nice to throw someone under the bus, but it definitely does happen at some workplaces. And it sometimes happens with students too. They'll blame another student for something, they'll throw them under the bus.

The other phrase I wanted to teach you today is the wheels fell off the bus. We use this to describe any situation where things start to go wrong. We sometimes use this to talk about a sports team when they're losing. You could say they were playing really great in the first half, and then the wheels fell off the bus. And in the second half the other team got way more points than they did. So anytime you describe a situation where something's going badly, you could say the wheels fell off the bus, or the wheels are falling off the bus as it happens.
So to review, to throw someone on the bus means to, sorry to throw someone under the bus means to blame them for something that went wrong, maybe at work, or maybe if you're a student doing a group project. And when you say the wheels fell off the bus, it means that something went wrong, and now things aren't going well. Sometimes we just say the wheels fell off too. You could say, oh, in the second half, the wheels fell off.
Let me get the comment out of my pocket here. Let's look at a comment from a previous video. This comment is from IOT. Hello, dear teacher, wear a tuque, please. It seems it is cold there, and my response, I will make sure to wear one in the next video. I will make sure to wear one in the next video. Let me make sure I read that right.
Yes, I'm wearing one in this video, because it is severe winter out here right now. You can see that my van is covered in snow. Look how deep this is if I put my hand in here. I could even write on here if I wanted to. I could write hello. Okay, that's not the greatest, but you can see what I'm saying. If we walk along here, let me just do the little spinny thing.
If we walk along here, you can see Oscar is outside with me. He wants to say hello. Hi, Oscar. You can see that this van is also very, very much covered in snow. We are having a beautiful winter storm. In fact, I didn't have to go to work today. Sorry, my face is going to look funny, because the snow is blowing into my face. I didn't have to go to work today, so that was kind of fun. When I woke up this morning, it said it was a snow day. So I'm home, and it might even be a snow day tomorrow as well. The snow is really coming down right now.
I was out earlier today making my video for next week for my other channel. And man, it was cold. I didn't have my toque on then. So, IOT, you were correct. I should be wearing a toque when we have this kind of weather. So I'm going to have to, I know I show you guys a lot of snow, but it is, oh, I'm not sure what happened there. Somehow, let me just try this. Somehow, my camera thinks it's too cold, I think, and it decided to go upside down.
Anyways, lots of snow on the ground. Oscar is out here somewhere. I'll have to find him back later. Thanks for watching. I'll see you next Wednesday with another short English lesson, bye.

Hi Teacher Bob, Beautiful scenery with thick layer of snow! After one of my friend threw me under the bus I couldn't trust him anymore. The wheels fell of the bus I didn't get the promotion. Thanks for the lesson.

That's what happens when someone throws you under the bus. You don't trust them any more! 😎🌳🍊

Here the sun is shining. I don't know when we had a real winter - better for you.

I'm happy that we're having real winter. I think though it might be ending soon. 😎🌳🍊

[@Aerosmith77]

You are still lucky, here the sun is shining. It is cold but if you see out of the window, you surely can believe that the spring is here.

[@freddywolf2505]

Hi Bob, I hope you had time to go do all your shopping before the snow storm because when I see your cars with so much snow on them I guess that it'd be impossible for you to move even a few meters. It's very impressive for someone who is not used to having so much snow on the plain. It's nice to see so much snow falling, the scenery is fantastic but you have to be well organized so you don't have to go somewhere quickly. Seeing the writing in the snow on your car, I wonder if you are left-handed or ambidextrous? I wish you a great day! See you soon!

[@bobsshortenglishlessons]

I am right-handed but it was just convenient to write with my left hand at the moment! 😎🌳🍊

Hi, teacher Bob! Your beanie reminds me that today is the oppening of the Olimpic Winter Games in Beijing and would be great if you could make a video about the sports Canadians have more chance to win. Thank you!

Hi, hello. You're having a wonderful severe snowing day now. Places which have snowstorms and cold weather can be difficult to live. Especially, people need much more firewood to heat their houses when it snows a lot. And usually the roads are being icy in the winter. Have a great day! Thank you so very much.🌨️🔥🌤️

Hi Bob, nice view of the weather 😃 I have one question, can I say that somebody threw me under the bus even though either he wasn't doing that wrong thing along with me or if he is telling lies about me? Thank you so much for your great work your help with our English is great 😃😃😃

Oscar was in my other video today too on my other channel if you want to check it out! 😎🌳🍊

[@andrespadron992]

I'm no comfortable throwing people under the bus, I prefer to take my responsibility. I remember that one day I was driving and I saw a wheel falling off a car while it was moving, not exactly the phrase that we are learning but my memories came to my mind. How long can Oscar be outside in the snow?

[@bobsshortenglishlessons]

I think I'm a lot like you. I'd rather take responsibility then blame it on someone else. P.S. If it is above -5 Oscar can be outside for a long time. If it is below he only goes out for about 10 minutes. 😎🌳🍊

[@fho85]

Do you think it's a good thing to do when throwing someone under the bus ? so little time to think about when the wheels came off !⏳🚌

'wheel off' we have more or less same meaning in Chinese.

Hi oscar, Throw someone under the but is not good right? When i was in elementary school that thing happened, when my favorite japanese soccer team almost won but then the wheel fell off the bus japan lost vs german on asian games 2018 if i'm not mistaken i surprised japan lost back then.
