Water Under the Bridge Sans "The"

Can the expression "water under the bridge" be said without the "the" before "bridge" so it's just, for instance, "It's all water under bridge"? I could have sworn that I've heard that a few times before.

Thanks.

I've never heard that. Sounds odd to me.

Wouldn't it be "water under bridges" without the determined?

If you start changing fixed expressions, you will occasionally sound clever, but you will usually just sound like your English is poor.
