It's the 'New...'
Take your pick...
'Staying in is the new going out'
'Brown is the new Black' (although i suspect he may be feeling black on May 7th)
'The Jobcentre ticket machine is the new watercooler' .... etc...

I don't mind if they're original but when people trot out the same clichéd phrases it get's annoying.

New Look receipts started saying
"Splashing out is the new saving up" a while ago (or words to that effect). What the fuck does that even mean?
