"Shoving down our throats"

Post by ghostrunner »

Would like to submit a petition to stop the use of "shove down our throats" as a metaphor for "experiencing something I personally don't like"

Whether it's legislation passed by democratically elected officials or the reddit complaint I saw that Netflix is "shoving episode spoilers down our throats"

You will take this, and take it completely voluntarily.

What percentage of the uses of this phrase are associated with legislation protecting GLBT rights? 90%?
