Lately, I have become sick of the phrase "jump the shark" being used to describe something has reached a point where it has gone past its prime. The origin of the phrase arose from an episode of Happy Days in which Fonzie jumped a shark on waterskis, which has been labeled the lowest point of the show. However, the phrase has entered into the public's lexicon and unfortunately has itself jumped the shark. Thus, a new term was needed. Recently, I have seen a new phrase that I absolutely love. That new term: "Fred Dursted".
For example, per FilmDrunk.com in his discussion of the new Uwe Boll movie, "Mainly I just feel bad for Mini Me Verne Troyer. I thought he was better than that. His career has really Fred Dursted."
