A few summers ago I took a trip through the American West with a group that included one of my teenage nephews (from NJ) and a good friend of his whose family had moved to the UK a few years earlier. Apparently, due to some then-hot news piece in the UK, the trendy statement there was "I blame the teachers."
So, every time anything went wrong it was "I blame the teachers." A traffic jam -- "I blame the teachers." A flat tire -- "I blame the teachers." Someone in the group mis-spoke and insulted everyone in sight (quite unintentionally) -- "I blame the teachers." It rapidly became one of the funniest bits of the whole trip. Not least because of the wildly inappropriate use to which it was put.
