beating a dead horse 

It doesn't matter how much you want to continue riding beating a dead horse is not going to get you anywhere.

If something is already done and over with there is no point in still talking about it.

If something is already broken there is no point in trying to use it.
Someone breaks up with there girl/boyfriend and continues to bitch about them to there friends weeks later. That person is beating a dead horse, the relationship is over there is no point in thinking about it since the matter is already resolved with you having broken up.

Relationship = dead horse
Bitching about it = beating it

Trying over and over to start your car after you've been in an accident where it is clear that the car is not going to work.

Broken Car = dead horse
Trying to start it = beating it

beatlingual 

1. When the beat of a song speaks a universal language that audiences across the globe can understand.

2. When the beat speaks louder than words.
Armin & Hardwell's new track, "Off the Hook," is 100% beatlingual; there's no vocals, but the beat speaks to everyone.

load bearing poster

Something that seems trivial or unrelated to a larger thing, until you try to remove it. From a Simpsons episode where Rod (or Todd) tries to remove a Krusty the Clown poster from his wall, only to watch the wall start to crumble apart
Bart said to Rod "Careful... That's a load bearing poster."
