In my native (Georgian) language we have this colloquial saying – throw someone away like an eaten apple, meaning- to get rid of someone after having taken advantage of him/her in a dishonest way.
I have come across a few such sayings in English as well, like- to throw someone away like an old rug or used toothpick or spit someone out like a cherry stone, etc.
I have a question, are there any other such sayings and which one is used more frequently in English?
