coup de grace

This phrase means "blow of mercy" in french, and is used to describe the deathblow intended to end the suffering of a mortally wounded victim.

It can also be used figuratively to refer to a finishing touch of any sort.

While the correct pronunciation is similar to "coo de grahce". It (in english) is usually pronounced as "coo de gra"...with the final "s" sound being left out.
The elven hero, upon seeing his former nemesis struggling for breath, performed a quick coup de grace, ending its suffering.

George had never had much luck with these matters, and
after all that'd happened, losing his wallet was the coup de grace that spurred him to tears.

An amazing band with great lyrics! Three Days Grace is one of the best bands out there. I, too, saw them play and it was amazing.
The only thing better than Three Days Grace's CD is them live!

Grace for Every Gethsemane

When you refuse to give up even when others have disappointed or deserted you, as new restorations or resurrections are on your way—before Jesus went to the cross to die for our sins, He was so troubled in the Garden of Gethsemane that He asked his disciples to stay there and pray for Him, but He couldn’t rely on them for their support because they fell asleep.
Are disappointments, betrayals, or sicknesses taking their toll on your life? Look no further, because there is grace for every Gethsemane if you would only turn to the Son of God for your deliverance and healing. Let Him turn the frustrations and obstructions into resurrections and promotions.
