Tell 'em I died game

Apocryphal last words, often attributed to the bushranger Ned Kelly. Since entered Australian culture.

Several meanings.

1. Expression of defiance - similar to other laconic sayings in history, such as Leonidas' "Molon labe". Essentially, declaring unrepentant devotion to values by which one lived, or, at least, a refusal to die in a cowardly or ignominious fashion.

2. Ironic inversion of the above - jokey way of declaring submission, often in an aside to bystanders.
