Come Along for the Ride
Sentence
Jennifer swears that she didn't do anything, but admitted she just went along
for the ride.
Explanation
to watch but not take part in doing something
Origin
This expression was first said during the 1890s, at the beginning of the automobile
age. Originally, it meant exactly what it said. When a passenger rides in a car, he's
doing nothing. Today, it meant you're joining an activity just to be with other people.
