I've Been To The Disco
First said by Audrey Kitching after breaking up with Brendon Urie of Panic! At The Disco fame.
Now, it's used by girls that got bored of boys, and dumped them.
Much like going to a disco, but getting bored after a few hours.

Correct Use: When I asked Clara about her break-up with Brent, she just said "I've been to the disco!"

Incorrect Use: When John broke up with Ariel, she came crying to me saying "I've been to the disco! I still love him! I wish he'd take me back!" even though she was an AIDS infected slut that slept with the entire hockey team.
