Let George do it

Meaning: Shirking responsibility by assuming someone else will handle the task instead.

Origin: A shrugging American catchphrase of the early 20th century for leaving a job to someone else. A French saying, laissez faire à Georges, is often said to mock Cardinal Georges d'Amboise, the all-powerful minister of King Louis XII — but it is only traced from the 17th century, and its link to the American phrase is probably coincidence.
