Bandwagon
Hi, I got a question here. Can I say "You are such a bandwagon"? Does it sound natural to native English speakers? Many thanks for your help in advance.

Many thanks for your quick response, Clive. When you are talking about somebody trying to support some team or group just because it is popular, I heard you call them bandwagon or something. Does this ring your bell...?

Hi,
The expression is eg "You always jump on the bandwagon'.
Think of the bandwagon as a wagon in a parade, full of noisy, celebrating people. The idea is that you jump on, because everybody else is already on it and having a great time.

Thank you, your answer is very clear to me. So, do you think "You are such a bandwagon" sounds like the expression you never hear even as a broken English, since it totally doesn't make sense?

Anonymousdo you think "You are such a bandwagon" sounds like the expression you never hearLet me jump on the bandwagon and agree with Clive.
Please believe me that I mean no offense by it, but I literally laughed out loud when I read "You are such a bandwagon"! It was like reading, "You are such a tablecloth!" or "You are such an ice cube!" both of
