I was reflecting the other day of figures of speech phrases that include the words death or dead that are used commonly and came up with this list.
You’ll be the death of me
Drop dead
Over my dead body
Sick to death
Better off dead
Back from the dead
Chivalry is not dead
Dead in the water
Dead giveaway
A fate worse than death
Until death do us part
Scared to death
Matter of life and death
Kiss of death
At death’s door
Bleed to death
Brush with death
Catch one’s death of cold
Death knell
Death spiral
Give me liberty or death
You look like death warmed up
Can you think of anymore?
