Death Flag

Something (such as a phrase or action) in a movie or TV show that hints a character is going to die. Usually the more death flags they rack up, the higher the probability they will die.

Examples of a Death Flag include:
-Aggravating an important character, such as a king.
-Unknowingly ignoring signs a person is a psycho.
-Telling someone everything will be okay.
-Boasting about how lucky you are to be alive after a certain deadly event.
-Running into danger because you think you are a strong boi and will become a chick magnet.
-Running into danger because you underestimate the enemy.
-Killing innocents and expecting to be forgiven.
-Being a teacher of the next warrior and teaching them everything you know.
-If in animation, being poorly detailed and bland means that the animators know the person will die so they don't bother making the person look good.
-Investigating a noise you heard at night when home alone.

"Huh? What was that noise? I have to check it out because that's not a stupid decision at this time while no one can hear me screaming for my life as I'm killed."

death elbow

Leveraging yourself to get an action or result from someone in order to ascertain the result(s) to further press-on with the problem at hand or come to a conclusion.

I am going to give John the death elbow if he doesn't come through with the sales forecast he quoted us!

Death Mouth

Death Mouth is the day after you've been drinking a lot and your breath smells like something that may come from a crypt.

"Man, have you seen John today? He's got some serious death mouth."

deather

People who dont believe United States Navy Seals executed Osama Bin Laden. Similiar to a birther, they fail to realize the obvious despite the insurmountable body of evidence to the contrary.

I dont believe we got him. Where is the body? Oh c'mon man, so you are a birther and a deather??!! Good Grief dude!

death ride

A "death ride" is a self-inflicted determination to start or continue on a course of action which will either literally end in one's death or more abstractly, result in the complete and total failure of the course of action. It is used as well to describe a course of action in which one is included without having an opportunity to decline.

When Hitler's armies began to lose WW II c. 1943 given the failure to take Moscow in the winter campaign in the East and the loss of the 6th Army at Stalingrad, Hitler's failure to recognize and accept the situation (namely, that his direction of the war was bound to result in the destruction of Germany) and his continuing to persist when others could see that the war was lost, is sometimes referred to as his taking the "Third Reich" on a death ride.

Japanese Kamikaze pilots were also embarked on death rides, when they knowingly and purposely flew their aircraft into Allied ships during WW II.

Custer and the 7th Cavalry at the Little Big Horn is another example.
