Throw Someone Under the Bus
To betray or blame someone so you avoid trouble or get ahead.
Examples
- When the project failed, Jenna threw Carlos under the bus to keep her promotion on track.
- Don't throw me under the bus in front of the whole group — just tell them we both missed the deadline.
- My little brother told Mom I broke the lamp and totally threw me under the bus.
