The phrase "dead meat" means in a lot of trouble: "When his parents find out what he did, he'll be dead meat." A "dead end" describes a road that ends, without connecting to another road: "They want to live on a dead end so there will be less traffic and their kids can safely ride bikes in the street." Finally, when talking about sports or a competition, a "dead heat" describes a situation in which two competitors are at the same distance or have the same number of points and are trying to beat each other: "For the last few seconds of the race, the runners were in a dead heat." |
