Etymology:
- The idiom belongs to the world of entertainment. If you go to a musical concert or any show, off course you would like to see and hear fresh and different things not the same old stuff. You will expect or like to see new and interesting performances thus this expression refers to the dull and dreary things being said or used before. It also means to give same excuse or lie to rid one of bad situation.
