How to use gravy in a sentence?

1. Michael Maduell:

2. Mary McCarthy:

3. Former Toronto Mayor Rob Ford:

   Toronto's government has grown bloated and wasteful, it's time to stop the gravy train that provides luxuries and perks to politicians and rich contracts to their friends.

4. Orson Bean:

5. David Kimberley:

   The latest surge in dogecoin is a continuation of the greater fool theory trend we’ve seen playing out over the past couple of months, more people are aware of what’s going on and are looking to jump on the gravy train to make a quick buck. It’s very likely that Elon Musk pumping the coin tomorrow on prime-time U.S. TV will only serve to compound things and push the price up.
